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