New cards

  • progressive wave


  • a wave that transfers energy without transferring matter


2
New cards

  • transverse wave


  • a wave where the particle vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer


3
New cards

  • peak

  • trough


  • the maximum displacement above the rest position

  • the maximum displacement below the rest position


4
New cards

  • longitudinal wave


  • a wave where the particle vibrations are parallel to the direction of energy transfer


5
New cards

  • compression

  • rarefaction


  • the region of highest pressure due to particles being close together

  • the region of lowest pressure due to particles being far apart
