Wave Vocabulary
22
frequency : number of waves passing by per unit of time
longitudinal wave : type of wave where the particles of the medium move back and forth or parallel to the direction the wave travels (2 words)
nucleus : the part of an atom where the protons and neutrons are located
rarefaction : region of a sound wave where the particles are farther apart
hertz : unit used to measure the frequency of waves
vibration : a repeated back and forth or up and down motion
wave : any disturbance that carries energy from one place to another without transporting matter
matter : anything that has mass and takes up space
neutron : a particle with no charge found in the nucleus of an atom
medium : a substance through which waves can travel, such as water or air
trough : the lowest part of a transverse wave
transverse wave : type of wave where the particles of the medium move up and down or perpendicular to the direction the wave travels (2 words)
proton : a positively charged particle in the nucleus of an atom
energy : anything that does work and causes change
mechanical wave : wave that requires a medium through which to travel – include transverse and longitudinal waves (2 words)
amplitude : the maximum distance a wave vibrates from is rest position
compression : region of a sound wave where the particles are packed tightly together
wavelength : distance between any two adjacent crests of troughs
electron : negatively charged particle found outside the nucleus
crest : highest part of a transverse wave
atom : the basic building block of matter
wave speed : the speed at which a wave travels (2 words)
