Characteristics of Waves
Across
- 3. the distance over which the shape of a periodic wave repeats (the distance between one crest and the next crest)
- 4. a substance through which energy is transmitted in the form of waves
- 9. a wave in which the particles of the medium move at right angles (perpendicular) to the direction the wave travels
- 10. the capacity to do work
Down
- 1. a wave in which the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction (parallel) as the wave travels through the medium
- 2. one half of the full range of motion of an oscillation or wave
- 5. a force that tends to shorten or squeeze something (decreasing volume)
- 6. distance traveled by a wave per unit of time
- 7. the number of complete cycles of a repeating phenomenon over a specified time interval
- 8. a disturbance or oscillation that travels from one point to another and transports energy
