Yes Flashcards
The transfer of energy without transferring matter
Wave
The High Point or peak of a wave
Crest
The lowest point or valley of a wave
Through
The distance from resting point to the crest of a wave 
Amplitude
The distance from crest to crest or through to through in a wave
Wavelengths
The number of waves that pass a given point in a certain period of time
Frequency
Time for a complete cycle to pass a given point
Period
Matter through which a mechanical wave travels
Medium
A wave in which the energy travels perpendicular to the direction of the disturbance
Transverse waves
A wave that does not need a medium to travel through
Electromagnetic wave
A wave in which the energy travels in the same direction as the disturbance 
Longitudinal wave
The point in a longitudinal wave where are the matter is pushed closer together
Compression
The point in a longitudinal wave where are the matter is further apart
Rarefraction
The bending of waves as they pass through a material
Reflection
Waves spread out as a we saw her passing through the Narrow aperture or around an edge of material
Diffraction
