A periodic disturbance in a solid, liquid, or gas as energy is transmitted through a medium.

There are 4.

It has 4.

There are 5 types.

These can move through matter and space. (mediums and vacuums)

A transverse wave in which matter in the medium moves forwards and/or backwards along the same direction of the wave.

The bouncing of a ray of light, sound, or heat when the ray hits a surface that it can't go through.

The speed that waves travel.

This is matter (solid, liquid, or gas) that a mechanical wave travels through.

The types of electromagnetic waves.

A wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction that the wave is traveling.

The bending of a wave front as the wave passes between 2 substances in which the speed of the wave differs.

The distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave.

When this wave moves, particles of the medium move at right angles.

The energy that is carried by electromagnetic waves.

A wave that uses matter to transfer energy.

A change in the directionof a wave when the wave finds an abstacle or an edge.

The number of waves produced in a given amount of time.

This is what mechanical waves use to transfer energy.

This is carried by infrared and visible light waves.

A wave that consists of electric and magnetic fields that vibrate at right angles to each other.

The combination of two or more waves that results in a single wave.

The maximum distance that the particles of a wave’s medium vibrate from their rest position.

These waves vibrate up and down and it forms a series of compressions and rarefractions that move away and spread out in all directions.

If you are exposed to too much sunlight, the small amount of the radiant energy that is carried by ultraviolet waves can cause this.
