Waves transfer _________________, not the _____________ with it. A ______________________ causes particles in matter to move bac
k and forth at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. High points in a transverse wave are called ________________. Low points are called ________________. A ________________ wave causes particles in matter to move back and forth along the same direction in which the wave travels. The places in a longitudinal wave in which the coils are squeezed together are called ______________. The places in the wave in which the coils are spread apart are called _________________. The ________________ of a transverse wave is the distance between two adjacent crests or two adjacent troughs. The _________________ of a compressional wave is the distance between two adjacent compressions or rarefactions.. The _____________ of a wave is the number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second. Frequency is measured in units of _____________. The ___________ of a wave depends on the medium in which the wave travels. To make a wavelength of rope shorter, one should shake the rope at a ____________ frequency. The speed of a wave can be found using the equation ________________. As the wavelength of a wave increases, the frequency of the wave _______________. The energy of a wave depends on its ______________________.
a sudden and terrible event in nature (such as a hurricane, tornado, or flood) that usually results in serious damage and many deaths The earthquake was one of the worst natural disasters of this century.
