Question

the ______ of a wave measures how tall the wave is, which shows how much energy it carries - like how loud a sound is or how big an ocean wave looks. the distance between two ____ in a wave helps us understand the size of one complete wave cycle. the highest point on a transverse wave is called the ____. the lowest point on a transverse wave is called the ____. in a longitudinal wave, ____ are the areas where particles are closest together. the opposite of compression in a longitudinal wave is ____, where particles spread apart. when a wave passes by more times in one second, it has a higher ______, which can make waves appear closer together. frequency wave amplitude wavelength transverse wave longitudinal wave trough rarefaction crest compression

Explanation:

The amplitude of a wave measures its height and energy. Wavelength is the distance between two corresponding points (e.g., crests) in a wave. In transverse waves, the highest point is the crest and the lowest is the trough. In longitudinal waves, compression is where particles are close, and rarefaction is where they spread. Frequency is the number of wave passes per second.

Answer:

amplitude, wavelength, crest, trough, compression, rarefaction, frequency
