1
New cards

  • define progressive wave


  • a wave that transfers energy without transferring matter


2
New cards

  • define transverse wave

  • define peak

  • define trough


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

  • maximum displacement above the rest position

  • maximum displacement below the rest position


3
New cards

  • define longitudinal wave

  • define compression

  • define rarefaction


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

  • region of highest pressure due to close particles

  • region of lowest pressure due to far apart particles


4
New cards

  • show a displacement-time graph for a transverse/longitudinal wave
