The maximum distance from the rest position that the medium moves in a wave
The distance between two similar parts of a wave
When one wave hits another wave, their amplitudes combine and make a new wave
A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place
A repeated back and forth or up and down motion that gives energy to a wave. Also called "oscillation" Medium The material a mechanical wave moves through
The material a mechanical wave moves through
A type of wave where the medium moves perpendicular (vertical) to the direction the energy is moving.
A type of wave where the medium moves parallel (horizontal) to the direction the energy is moving. Sound is this type of wave.
When waves spread out to fill the space through which they are moving
When a wave changes direction because it goes into a new medium
