Directions: March the teren in Column I with the correct definition in Column Il by writing the correct letter in
the space to the feft
Column I
1. amplitude
2, compressional
3, crest
4. diffraction
5. frequency
6. interference
7. medium
B. rarefaction
9, refraction
10. resonance
IL standing wave
12. transverse
13, trough
14. wave
Waves
15, wavelength
Column II
a. a repeating disturbance that transfers energy
through matter or space
b. highest point of a wave
& bending of a wave as it moves from one
medium to another
d, a material that a wave transfers energy through
e. lowest point of a wave
f. bending of a wave as it passes around a barrier
8 matter moves at right angles to the direction
the wave travels
h. spread apart portion of a compressional wave
& when two or more waves overlap and combine
to form a new wave
j. matter moves in same direction as wave travels
k. distance between one point on a wave and the
nearest point just like it
1. when waves continuously interfere with each
other
m. how many wavelengths pass a fixed point each
second
n. ability of an object to vibrate by absorbing
energy at its natural frequency
o. measure of the energy in a wave
