Amplitude
Distance between a line through the middle of a wave to a crest or trough
Wavelength
The distance from one wave crest or the next wave crest
Frequency

Wave Behavior
Reflection
The bouncing back of a wave after it strikes a barrier
Refraction
he bending of a wave as it enters a new medium at an angle other than 90 degrees
Diffraction
The spreading out of waves through an opening or around the edge of an obsacle
Interference
The meeting and combining of waves
Waves
A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another
Mechanical Waves
Waves that transfers energy through matter
Medium
Any substance that a wave travels through
Transverse Wave
The direction in which the wave travels is perpendicular or at a right angle to the direction of the disturbance
Longitudinal Wave
The wave travels in the same direction as the disturbance
