Across
  1. 4. the unit for frequency
  2. 7. A ____________ wave has particles oscillating at right angles to the direction of wave travel
  3. 8. A ______________ wave has particles oscillating in parallel to the direction of wave travel
  4. 10. the to-and-fro movement of particles in a wave
  5. 11. the time taken for one wave oscillation or 1 / frequency of wave
  6. 12. the distance between two similar points on a wave or the length of one wave cycle
Down
  1. 1. A line that joins all the peaks of a transverse wave or compressions of a longitudinal wave
  2. 2. regions where the waves are bunched up or tightly packed together
  3. 3. the number of waves completed or passing any point per second
  4. 5. regions where the waves are stretched out or loosely packed
  5. 6. the maximum displacement of the wave from its rest position or size of a wave
  6. 9. ___________ of wave = frequency x wavelength
