Answer 1

I don’t see the image — please upload it so I can place the labels directly. Meanwhile, here’s how to use the words from your word bank to label each type of wave and where to put the “this wave is moving in this direction” arrow.

Transverse wave (particles move perpendicular to propagation)
- Crest — the highest point of the wave (label on the top peaks).
- Trough — the lowest point of the wave (label on the bottom valleys).
- Amplitude — the vertical distance from the rest (middle) line to a crest (or to a trough). Mark a line from the middle to a crest and label it Amplitude.
- Wavelength — the horizontal distance between two adjacent crests (or two adjacent troughs). Draw a horizontal double arrow between two crests and label Wavelength.
- “This wave is moving in this direction” — draw an arrow along the horizontal axis (parallel to the wavelength) showing propagation direction (e.g., to the right).

Longitudinal wave (particles move parallel to propagation)
- Compression — regions where the medium is squeezed together (label the dense/packed parts of the wave).
- Rarefaction — regions where the medium is spread out (label the less-dense/expanded parts).
- Wavelength — the distance from the center of one compression to the center of the next compression (or from one rarefaction to the next).
- Amplitude — the maximum displacement of particles from their equilibrium position (you can mark the maximum displacement in the direction of travel).
- “This wave is moving in this direction” — draw an arrow along the line of the medium (parallel to the compressions/rarefactions) showing propagation direction.

If you upload the image I will place each label directly on it.
