4.1 Features of a wave pg. 135
A wave is a movement that transfers energy through matter or space. A crest is the highest point in a wave and a trough is the lowest. Some examples of waves are sound waves and ocean waves. Ocean waves shake the water and move energy through it. Sound waves stir the air and convey energy through it. Energy is the volume to apply a force over a distance. A force is a push or pull on an object.


 * Questions || Answers ||
 * 1) How would you describe a wave? || A wave is a disturbance or movement that transfer energy through matter or space, without causing any permanent displacement. ||
 * 2) With what measurements are wave lengths measured in? || Wave lengths are measured in a measurment called amplitude. ||
 * 3) What is the amplitude of a wave? || The amplitude is the height of a wave crest or depth of a wave trough, as measured from its rest position. ||
 * 4) What is the definition on a transverse wave? || A tranverse wave is a matter in the middle that moves up and down perpendicular to the direction that the wave travel. ||
 * 5) What is the definition of a compression wave? || Sound waves are compression waves.In a compression wave, matter in the medium moves back and forth along the same direction that the waves travel. ||
 * 6) What is the difference between the two types of waves? || The difference between these 2 types of waves is that transverse waves moves up and down while compression waves moves back and forth. ||
