Practice! Draw a transverse wave and label the crest, trough, wavelength and amplitude Draw a longitudinal wave and label compression, rarefaction, and wavelength
Transverse Wave wavelength amplitude trough crest
Longitudinal Wave compression rarefaction wavelength
Waves and Media 1.Look at the wave pictured below. What is the medium that the wave is traveling through? 2.What is the source of energy causing the wave? Label 3 &

SOUND WAVES Word bank: vibration, longitudinal, high, low, waves, compression, rarefaction 1. Sound travels in _________________. An area where particles are crowded produces a ________________. Sound is caused by ________________ of particles through a medium. An area where particles are spread apart is called a ________________. High frequency creates a ____________ pitch sound. Low frequency creates a ___________ pitch sound.
