Types of Waves

2. this type of energy travels as transverse waves
6. when 2 or more waves are passing through the same medium to create a new wave pattern
7. the areas of a longitudinal wave that are squeezed together
8. the areas of a longitudinal wave that are stretched out
10. measured by the compressions of a longitudinal wave, makes it have more energy

1. this type of energy travels as longitudinal waves
2. these are mechanical waves that are caused by vibrations that travel through a medium (matter)
3. the unit of measurement for frequency
4. these are waves that move in an up & down pattern
5. when an object vibrates strongly at its max amplitude of a certain frequency
9. the amount of waves produced in a given period of time
11. the higher the frequency, we hear more of this
