Fill in the Blanks WavesOnline version Vocabulary Matching by Stephanie Drake 1 longitudinal frequency wave Amplitude Mechanical wave Compression medium wavelength frequency Energy longitudinal wave speed transverse Energy amplitude mechanical Mechanical Intensity waves waves Waves electromagnetic wave waves vacuum speed Electromagnetic waves A is a traveling disturbance that moves through space and matter . transfer energy from one place to another , but not matter A is the distance between any two successive identical parts of a wave . is the measure of the displacement of the wave from its rest position . The higher the of a wave , the higher its energy . The of a wave is the number of times per second that a wave cycles . The is the inverse of the period . is a measurement of the strength of a sound wave that is equal to the power divided by the area . The of a wave is a measure of how fast the disturbance of the wave is moving . The can be dependent on the type of medium that a wave is moving through . move energy through a medium by vibrating particles . cannot move energy through a vacuum because there is no matter inside of a vacuum . The three types of are transverse waves , surface waves , and longitudinal waves . A is a wave where the disturbance travels in the same direction as the wave . Sound waves are is areas in a longitudinal wave where the particles are close together A is a wave where the disturbance moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave . are waves that can travel through a vacuum . They do not need a medium . Light is a type of . is " the ability to do work " . is how things change and move . A is a space without matter or air . The is the matter that a wave travels through .
