What kind of wave is being generated?
The maximum distance that the particles of a medium move from the rest position is the
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is the wave’s
The speed of a wave is its wavelength multiplied by its
Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy without a(n)
Why do you see lightning from a distant storm before you hear thunder ?
Mechanical waves are created when a source of energy causes a medium to
Energy transferred from electromagnetic waves through matter and space is called electromagnetic radiation.
The three types of mechanical waves are transverse waves, latitudinal waves, and surface waves.
Frequency is measured in units called hertz.
Dividing the distance a wave travels by the time it takes to travel that distance gives you the wave's speed
The height of a wave's trough depends on its amplitude.
Waves that require a medium through which to travel are called electromagnetic waves.

Look at diagram above. In what direction does the medium move relative to the direction of the wave? Explain.
Look at diagram above. What does the person transfer to the rope by pulling it up and down at point A?
Compare how polarized light is different from non-polarized light.
