QUESTIONS LIST:

• amplitude : the maximum distance the medium vibrates from the rest position
• wavelength : the distance between two parts of a wave
• refraction : when a wave bends due to a change in speed
• mechanical wave : without a medium they cannot travel

• interference : the interaction between waves that meet
• transverse wave : a wave that vibrates the medium at right angles
• trough : the low point on a transverse wave
• crest : the high point on a transverse wave
• frequency : the number of waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time
• diffraction : when a wave bends around a barrier or passes through an opening
• medium : the material through which a wave travels
• reflection : when a wave hits a surface and bounces back
• vibration : a repeated back-and-forth or up-and-down motion
