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