Across
  1. 3. the highest point on a transverse wave
  2. 4. matter through which a wave travels
  3. 6. the amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a fixed point
  4. 8. a measure of the size of the disturbance of a wave
  5. 10. a point in a standing wave where the waves cancel out
  6. 11. the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second
  7. 13. the lower point on a transverse wave
  8. 15. a wave in which the matter moves back and forth
  9. 16. wave in which the matter moves at right angles
  10. 18. the process of two or more wave overlapping to form new wave
Down
  1. 1. denser region of a longitudinal wave
  2. 2. the bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed
  3. 5. the bending of waves around an obstacle
  4. 7. a disturbance between one point on a wave to next identical point
  5. 9. a wave that can only travel through matter
  6. 12. the less-dense region of a longitudinal wave
  7. 14. a repeating disturbance that transfers energy as it travels through matter
  8. 17. wave a wave pattern that forms when waves of wavelength travel in opposite directions
