    Longitudinal waves
  • A rapid pattern of motion is _____.
    Vibration
  • Transverse waves with SHORT wavelengths have ____ energy than waves with long wavelengths.
    More
  • Waves that move in an up-and-down pattern or side-to-side pattern are called ____.

    Waves per second
  • God designed waves to transfer _____.
    Energy
  • Which of these waves has more energy?
    Top (short wavelength)
  • How do waves travel? (Two answers)
    Waves move energy away from the source. Waves travel through a medium, but the medium does not move.
