# data[].attributes.body
Meaning: A measure of the amount of energy particles have
Relationship to wave speed: Direct
Why does it affect wave speed the way it does: Higher temp means faster moving particles. Also, higher temp means lower density (which means higher wave speed)

# data[].attributes.body
Meaning: Mass per volume
Relationship to wave speed: Inverse
Why does it affect wave speed the way it does: The more mass the wave has to move through, the longer it will take

# data[].attributes.body
Meaning: Tendency of an object to retain its shape
Relationship to wave speed: Direct
Why does it affect wave speed the way it does: The higher the elasticity, the more quickly an object wants to return to its original shape

# data[].attributes.body
-Frequency has NO EFFECT on wave speed
-Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional

# data[].attributes.body
Speed at which a wave (disturbance) moves through a medium
Symbol: v
Equation: v = distance traveled/time
Units: m/s

# data[].attributes.body
Height of wave from centerline
Symbol: A
Units: meters

# data[].attributes.body
Length of one full wave (cycle)
Symbol: greek letter lambda
Units: meters

# data[].attributes.body
Period: Time it takes for one cycle
Period = total time/# of cycles
Unit: seconds

Frequency: How many cycles occur in one second
frequency = # of cycles/total time
Unit: cycles/second or Hz

How they are related:
Inversely proportional
T=1/f

How can we describe waves?

# data[].attributes.body
The medium moves in the opposite direction (perpendicular) to the direction the energy moves

# data[].attributes.body
The medium moves in the same direction (parallel) to the direction the energy moves

# data[].attributes.body
We can categorize waves based on their motion

# data[].attributes.body
DO NOT require particles; can exist in a vacuum (like space)

# data[].attributes.body
Require a "medium", or physical matter in order to exist

# data[].attributes.body
What a wave travels through. We can categorize waves based on their medium...

# data[].attributes.body
Disturbance that travels through matter or space AND TRANSFERS ENERGY!
