What is bending of a wave as it passes into a new medium at an angle other than 90 degrees. Refraction
What type energy is transferred when a rock is dropped into a pond to create waves? Kinetic energy
What type waves require a medium? –Soil, water, and air Mechanical Waves
Identify each type wave? A- Transverse wave B- Longitudinal wave
What is the distance from the center of one compression to another? Wave length
