Chapter 15 Vocabulary Review

The material a wave travels through

A huge surface wave in the ocean that is caused by an underwater earthquake

A seismic wave that happens first and is a longitudinal wave

The lowest part of a transverse wave

A seismic wave that is a transverse wave and can only travel through solids

The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time

A mechanical wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the wave

A part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together

The highest part of a transverse wave

A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place

The bouncing back of an object or wave when it hits a surface where it cannot pass through

The bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening

A seismic wave that is a combination of a longitudinal and transverse wave (happens last and does the most damage)

The height of a wave

A wave produced by an earthquake

A mechanical wave that moves in a medium in the direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels

The distance between two corresponding waves

The bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle

The SI unit that measures frequency

A wave that requires a medium to travel through
