Description

a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place
transverse waves with crests and troughs that move up and down or side to side; only travel through solids and move slower than P waves
point of maximum amplitude and has an amplitude that is greater than zero
waves that require a medium through which to travel
waves that can travel without a medium
a wave that moves the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel
is the maximum distance that the particles of the medium carrying the wave move away from their rest positions.
the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave
is the number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time
how far the wave travels in a given length of time or its distance divided by the time it took to travel that distance
when an object or a wave hits a surface through which it can't pass and bounces back
the bending of waves due to a change in speed when the wave enters a new medium at an angle
the bending of waves around the edge of a barrier or through a narrow opening
the interference that occurs when two waves combine to make a wave with a smaller amplitude
the interference that occurs when waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude
waves that appear to stand in one place even though it is really two waves interfering as they pass through each other
always are evenly spaced along the wave;is the point where the wave doesn't move at all and has a zero amplitude
point of maximum amplitude and has an amplitude is greater than zero
a increase in the amplitude of a vibration that occurs when external vibrations match in objects natural frequency
the waves produced by earthquakes that include P waves S waves and Surface waves
longitudinal waves produced by earthquakes that are made up of compressions and rarefactions of rock inside Earth; they move faster than any other seismic waves and so arrive at distant places before other seismic waves; travel only through solids liquids and gases
transverse waves with crests and troughs that move up and down or side-to-side; only travel through solids so they don't move through part of earth's core because it is liquild; move slower than P waves
a combination of a longitudinal wave (P waves) and a transverse wave (S Wave) that travels along the surface of the medium; moves slower than S waves and P waves
earthquakes that occur underwater producing huge surface waves on the ocean
an instrument used to detect and measure earthquake waves and records the ground movements caused by seismic waves as they move through Earth
a wave that moves the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel
a wave that moves the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves travel
in science its the ability to do work or cause change
is a repeated back and forth or up and down motion
