Classifying Waves & Wave Properties
Across
- 5. A type of wave that can travel only through matter
- 10. High frequency waves carry __________ energy than low frequency.
- 11. When frequency increases, wavelength ____________.
- 13. A type of wave where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the movement of the wave
- 18. A type of wave that can travel through matter or empty space
- 19. A repeated back and forth motion caused by energy
- 21. The distance from the midpoint of a wave to a crest or a trough
Down
- 1. The lowest point in a transverse wave
- 2. A disturbance that transfers energy
- 3. The material through which a mechanical wave travels
- 4. Empty space
- 6. The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles get pushed closer together
- 7. The distance from any point on a wave to the identical point on the next wave
- 8. The highest point in a transverse wave
- 9. Electromagnetic waves travel at the _______ __ _________.
- 12. The distance a wave travels per unit of time which is usually m/s
- 14. The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles are farther apart
- 15. The unit used to measure wave frequency
- 16. A type of wave where the particles of matter move perpendicular to the movement of the wave
- 17. Waves travel at __________ in different media.
- 20. The number of waves that pass a point in a given amount of time
