Across
- 4. of a wave is the number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
- 7. is the passage of light through an object such as a window
- 10. occurs when waves that overlap combine forming a new wave
- 11. the particles in a medium that move parallel to the direction that the wave travels
- 13. is the change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to another
- 14. the highest points on the transverse waves
- 16. the lowest points on a transverse wave
- 17. transfers energy without transferring matter
- 19. of a wave is the distance from one ponton a wave to the same point n the next wave
- 20. when a wave is reflected from a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
Down
- 1. the change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge of an objector through an opening is called
- 2. is a wave that can travel through empty space and through matter
- 3. can travel through solids liquids and gasses
- 5. a wave is the maximum distance that the waves move from their rest position
- 6. is the transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels
- 8. The regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are the closest together
- 9. is a material in which a wave travels
- 12. a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the waves travels
- 15. the regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles are the farthest appart
