Transverse wave- Waves that vibrate perpendicular to the movement of the energy and example is a wave www.tpub.com
Crest- Highest point in the wave, an example is the highest point of a mountain. pinkpanthers.pbworks.com
Trough- Lowest point of a wave, an example is the bottom of a hill pinkpanthers.pbworks.com
Amplitude- measure of distance between the rest position to the trough or crest, an example is a radio wave www.studyphysics.ca
wave length- measure of distance from crest to crest or trough to trough, an example infrared light www.ssec.wisc.edu
Rest position- line that goes through wave that represents disturbance and example is a flat line from a heart monitor of someone that passed away www.mrsciguy.com
Longitudinal wave- waves that go back and forth moving in the direction of the energy, an example is a slinky images.tutorvista.com
Compression- where the waves are closest together an example is a radio wave images.tutorvista.com
Rarefraction- the part of the wave that separates an example would be a sound wave www.phon.ox.ac.uk
