Indicate whether the sentence or statement is true or false.
 

 1. 

longitudinal wave ? a wave that causes the particles of the medium to vibrate parallel to the direction that wave travels
 

 2. 

crest ? the highest point of a transverse wave
 

 3. 

medium ? a distrubance that transmits energy through matter of space
 

 4. 

destructive inteference ? interference in which waves combine so that the resulting wave is smaller than the largest of the orginal waves
 

 5. 

transverse wave ? a wave that causes the particles of the medium to vibrate perpendicularly to the direction the wave travels
 

 6. 

interference ? combination of two or move waves that exist in the same place at the same time
 

 7. 

constructive interfernce ? any interference in which waves combin so that the resulting wave is bigher than the orginal wave
 

 8. 

reflection ? the bouncing back of a wave as it meets a surface or boundary
 

 9. 

standing wave ? a wave from caused by interfeence that appears not to move along the medium and that shows some regions of no vibration and orther regions of maximum vibration
 

 10. 

diffraction ? the bending of wavess as they pass from one medium to another
 

 11. 

amplitude ? the matter through which a wave travels
 

 12. 

trough ? the lowest point of a transverse wave
 

 13. 

doppler effect ? an observed change in the frequency of a wave when the source or observer is moving
 

 14. 

doppler effect ? an observed change in the frequency of a wave when the source or observer is moving
 

 15. 

wave ? a distrubance that transmits energy through matter of space
 

 16.

 17. 

electromagnetic wave ? a wavethat requires a medium through which to travel
 

 18. 

mechanical wave ? a wave from caused by interfeence that appears not to move along the medium and that shows some regions of no vibration and orther regions of maximum vibration
