What types of waves carry energy at a right angle or perpendicular to the direction of the energy flow?
Transverse wave
The most dense part of a longitudinal wave.
Compression
Which wave travels parallel in relation to a medium?
Longitudinal wave
Material (matter) through which a wave travels
medium
What is measured from crest to crest or trough to trough?
wavelength
A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place through matter or space
wave
The highest point on a wave is:
the crest
The lowest point on a wave is the:
Trough
The height of the wave from its resting point is called its
amplitude
are waves that require a medium in order to transfer energy away from their source.
Mechanical waves
