Basic Waves

waves transfer energy from one place to another through a series of disturbances or vibrations

the rate at which something occurs or is repeated over a particular period of time or in a given sample

distance between a trough to trough or crest to crest

a substance in which a vibration goes through

trough- bottom

crest- top

the capacity of doing work; being active

the distance between the equilibrium line and the peak (whether it be on the bottom or the top of the wave)

a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation

a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation
