Waves

5. Maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave from its equilibrium position during one complete cycle.
6. Lowest point of a transverse wave.
8. Region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart, resulting in decreased pressure.
10. Refers to the region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together, resulting in increased pressure.
11. Distance between two successive points that are in phase, such as between two crests or two troughs of a wave.
12. Number of cycles of a periodic wave that occur in a unit of time, often measured in Hertz (Hz).
14. Unit of frequency, representing cycles per second.

1. Wave Type of mechanical wave that travels along the boundary between two different media, such as the surface of water.
2. Type of mechanical wave where the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave.
3. Time it takes for one complete cycle to pass a given point.
4. Type of wave that propagates through a medium, such as air, water, or solids, by transferring energy from one particle to the next without transporting matter.
7. Substance through which a mechanical wave travels. It can be a solid, liquid, or gas.
9. Type of mechanical wave where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
13. Highest point of a transverse wave.
