A periodic disturbance in a solid, liquid, or gas as energy is transmitted through a medium
Waves that require a medium to transmit energy
Wave that does not require a medium to travel
Wave where particles move perpendicularly to the direction
of the wave motion
Wave where particles move parallel to the direction of the
wave motion
Distance from the crest to the rest position on horizontal axis
the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on
the next wave
The speed that a wave travels through a medium
Velocity = wavelength • frequency
How many waves are made per time interval
the bouncing back of a ray of light, sound, or heat when the ray hits a surface that it does not go through
the bending of a wave as the wave passes between two substances in which the speed of the wave differs
a change in the direction of a wave when the wave finds an obstacle or an edge, such as an opening
When two or more waves share the same space at the same time
in optics, the transfer of light energy to particles of matter
the way our brain interprets electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength within the visible spectrum
ROYGBIV:
electromagnetic radiation that can be visible to the human eye.
a substance or material that carries the wave
electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between those of visible violet light and those of X rays
electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between those of visible red light and radio waves
a longitudinal wave that is caused by vibrations and that travels through a material medium
a phenomenon that occurs when two objects naturally vibrate at the same frequency; the sound produced by one object causes the other objectto vibrate
a measure of how high or low a sound is perceived to be, depending on the frequency of the sound wave
