Sound and Waves

Wave : A disturbance that transmits energy through matter of space
Medium : A substance through which a wave can travel
transversewave : A wave in which the particles of the wave's medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling
Longitudinalwave : A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth along the path that the wave travels
amplitude : The maximum distance a wave vibrates from its rest position
wavelength : The distance between one point on a wave and the corresponding point on an adjacent wave in a series of waves
Frequency : The number of waves produced in a given amount of time
Wavespeed : The speed at which a wave travels
Reflection : The bouncing back of a wave after it strikes a barrier or an object
Refraction : Is the bending of a wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another
diffraction : The bending of waves around a barrier or through an opening
Interference : A wave interaction that occurs when two or more waves overlap
standingwave : A wave that forms a stationary pattern in which portions of the wave do not move and other portions move with a large amplitude
resonance : Is the tendency of a system to oscillate with greater amplitude at some frequencies than at others
