III. Match the word on the left with its definition on the right.

 1. Wave  A Disturbance that transfers energy

 from one place to another.
 2. Crest  A type of wave that can travel
through space (a vacuum) and allows

us to see.
 3. Trough  The highest point of a wave.
  Particles move up and down as the
 4. Transverse wave wave travels forward. (Think of
 5. Longitudinal wave shaking a jump rope!)
  The lowest point of a wave.
 6. Sound wave  A type of wave that travels through a
medium (like air or water) and allows

us to hear.
 7. Light wave  Particles move back and forth in the
same direction as the wave travels.
(Think of pushing a slinky back and
forth!)
