Waves

5. Any element of a computer that’s physical.
8. Signal- A signal that allows for continuous record of some kind of action.
9. Wave- A transverse wave that can travel through empty space and through matter; is also called a light wave.
11. Programs that encode, decode, and interpret information.
14. Signal- A signal that allows for a record of numerical values of an action at a set of continuous time intervals.
17. Region of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are closest together.
19. Technology- Computer and telecommunication hardware and software that store, transmit, receive, and manipulate information.
21. Pulse- A pulse of energy that travels through an electric circuit when it is closed.
22. Wave- A wave that requires a medium to travel.
23. The number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second.
24. The highest point on a transverse wave.

1. Signal- Information that is sent as a pattern of electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, microwaves, and radio waves.
2. The region of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are furthest apart.
3. The lowest part of a transverse wave.
4. (longitudinal) Wave- A wave in which the disturbance is parallel to the direction the save travels.
6. The maximum distance a wave varies from its rest position.
7. Occurs when waves overlap and combine to form a new wave.
10. The amount of information that can be transmitted in bits per second.
12. Random signals from the environment that can alter the output of a signal.
13. Wave- A wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
15. The distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it.
16. A small uniform shape that is combined with others to make a larger image.
18. A material in which a wave travels.
20. A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.
