If you only have a day to study
What is a recurring disturbance through space with or without physical medium?
Wave motion
Often related to water. Up and down movement and right angles?
Transverse Waves
Waves in the direction of propogation?
Longitudinal
Position, particle of matter would have if it were not disturbed by wave motion?

Wave property gives a relative indication of the amount of energy the wave transmits?
Amplitude
Continuous series of waves having the same amplitude and wavelengths?
Wave Train
Number of wave related occurrences per second?
Hertz
Number of vibrations, cycles of wave trains and unit of time frequency of wavetrains are measured in?
Hertz
Rate disturbance travels medium or velocity, Crest of waves?
Velocity
One complete vibrators cycle of events?
Period
Wave directed toward mirror?
Incident
What does the law of reflection dictate?
The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
What is bending when meeting an obstruction?
Diffraction
