A Wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling.
|
|
|
Mechanical Wave
|
A wave that requiers a medium through which to travel.

|
|
Wave
|
Periodic disturbance in a solid liquid or gas AKA:(matter) as energy is transmitted through a medium.
|
|
|
Longitudinal Wave
|
A wave which particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction.
|
|
|
Interference
|
Combination of 2 or more waves of the same frequency that results in a single wave.
|

|
|
Diffraction
|
A change in which the directionof a wave when the wave finds an obstacle or an edge, such as an opening.
|
|
|
Reflection
|
The bouncing back of a ray of light sound or heat when the ray hits a surface that it does not go through.
|
|
|
Frenquency
|
the number of cycles or vibrates per unit of time.
