Waves/Brain Pop Vocabulary

Mechanical Wave Wave that needs a medium (liquids, solids or gasses) to move through Examples are water waves, seismic waves, sound waves, & the movement of a Slinky

Medium Material which the wave travels through

Seismic Waves Waves produced by an earthquake

Transverse Waves Wave in which matter moves at a right angle to the direction of the wave

Crest or PEAK The highest point of a transverse wave. Indicates the amount of energy in a wave.

Trough The lowest point of a transverse wave

Amplitude The distance in a transverse wave between the line of origin (resting position) and each crest or trough

Wavelength The distance between two consecutive crests or two consecutive troughs

Frequency The number of times a certain part of a wave passes a point in one second

Longitudinal Waves or Compressional Waves An energy wave consisting of a series of compressions and rarefactions that moves through a medium in the same direction the wave is traveling.
