MS2 Waves

3. the number of times something occurs in a given period of time
5. a repeating motion that travels through a medium
6. substance through which waves can travel; plural of medium is media
7. the spreading and bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening
11. the distance a wave travels in a given amount of time; equal to the product of a wave's frequency (f) and its wavelength (λ)
13. when two or more waves overlap the resultant wave is equal to the sum of the individual waves
14. the vertical distance between the peak and the bottom of a wave
15. the lowest part of a wave
16. bouncing of a wave by a surface the wave cannot pass through; echos, mirror images, etc

1. wave in which the motion of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave
2. part of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are pushed together
4. the time required for one full wave to pass a location
8. the maximum distance a point is moved from its rest position when a wave passes through
9. the highest part of a wave
10. the bending (change in speed and direction) of a wave as it passes at an angle between media of different densities
12. wave in which the motion of the medium is in the same direction as the wave
17. wave in which the motion of the medium is in the same direction as the wave
