| elastic | | produced by a regularly repeated disturbance |
| perpendicular | | infared radiation from the sun |
| amplitude | | pebble dropped in a pond causes this |
| Hertz | | The point of maximum positive displacement |
| energy | | a cycle per second |
| pulse | | if you halve the frequency, this happens to the period |
| parallel | | wave in which the displacement of the medium is parallel to the propagation |
| propagates | | the loudness of a soundwave is determined by this |
| crest | | A wave moves, or ...., through a space |
| periodicwave | | The direction of propagation to vibration in a transverse wave |
| longitudinal | | the reduction in amplitude due to dissipation |
| inphase | | particles that have the same displacement and are moving the same way |
| doubles | | A single, nonrepeated disturbance |
