4
|
measure of size or magnitude of a wave
|
|
6
|
mechanical wave that causes parallel motion of the medium through which it travels (in relation to the wave)
|
|
7
|
absorbs or reflects all light; it is not possible to see through these materials
|
|
8
|
mechanical waves that causes perpendicular motion of the medium through which it travels (in relation to the wave)
|
|
10
|
wave that transmits energy through a medium
|
|
12
|
distance from a point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
|
|
14
|
occurs when a wave bounces off a barrier, often flipping upside down
|
|
15
|
the bending of a wave around a barrier
|
|
16
|
transmits all light; it is possible to see through these materials
|
|
17
|
occurs when a wave bends as it enters a new medium
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1
|
lowest point on a wave
|
|
2
|
material through which a mechanical wave moves
|
|
3
|
number of waves that pass a point in one second; measured in hertz
|
|
5
|
wave that does not require a medium through which to travel (visible light, uv, x-rays, etc.)
|
|
9
|
unit of measurement for the frequency of waves
|
|
11
|
a disturbance in matter that transfers energy through matter or space
|
|
13
|
waves that transmit electromagnetic energy; make objects visible
|
|
18
|
highest point on a wave
