Across
  1. 2. a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.
  2. 3. the number of wavelengths that pass by each second
  3. 5. makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave travels
  4. 7. a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction to the direction of the wave
  5. 12. a wave that can travel through empty space and through matter
  6. 14. the maximum distance that the waver moves from its rest position (height of the wave)
  7. 15. the lowest point on a transverse wave
Down
  1. 1. a wave that can travel only through matter.
  2. 4. the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
  3. 6. the change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to another.
  4. 8. The regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart.
  5. 9. The regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together
  6. 10. a material in which a wave can travel
  7. 11. the bouncing of a wave off a surface
  8. 13. the highest points on a transverse wave.
