Waves

6. - the time it takes to complete one full cycle.
9. - produced by a vibrating electric charge and as such, they consist of both an electric and a magnetic component.
10. - the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position; the distance from rest to crest or rest to trough.
12. - the distinctive quality of a sound, dependent primarily on the frequency of the sound waves produced by its source.
14. - a point on a medium through which a longitudinal wave is traveling that has the minimum density; a region where the coils are spread apart
16. - the matter a wave travels through (solid, liquid, or gas).
17. - the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave.
18. - the lowest point within a cycle of a wave.
19. – a wave that is capable of transporting energy through the vacuum of outer space.

1. - a wave in which the particles of the medium are displaced in a direction parallel to the direction of energy transport.
2. a wave in which the particles of the medium are displaced in a direction perpendicular to the direction of energy transport.
3. - a point on a medium through which a longitudinal wave is traveling that has the maximum density; a region where the coils are pressed together in a small amount of space.
4. – measures how fast a wave is moving.
5. – are disturbances that repeat the same cycle of motion and transfer energy through matter or empty space.
7. - a unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second.
8. - In electromagnetic waves, the speed is ________ proportional to the frequency and wavelength of the wave according to the relationship v = f λ.
11. – a wave transfers energy as the particles in the medium move (vibrate) up and down or back and forth as the wave travels through a medium.
13. - the number of complete waves, or cycles of oscillation, in a given period of time.
15. - the highest point within a cycle of a wave.
