Give us a wave
Across
- 4. The maximum height of a wave-measured from the centre line to the peak.
- 8. A wave where the vibrations causing the wave are parallel to the direction of energy transfer.
- 9. Number of waves produced (or passing a point ) in one second
- 11. A wave where the vibrations causing the wave are at 90⁰ (right angles) to the direction of energy transfer.
- 12. How far a point is from its rest position.
- 13. the time to produce one wave or for one wave to pass a point.
Down
- 1. A periodic disturbance (vibration) that transfers energy from the source to the surroundings.
- 2. A substance through which a wave travels, e.g. air, water, string.
- 3. Position on longitudinal waves where the particles are squashed closest together – highest pressure on sound wave.
- 5. Point of maximum displacement, at the top of a transverse wave.
- 6. Point of maximum displacement at the bottom of a transverse wave
- 7. the distance between a point on a wave and the same point on the next wave.
- 10. Place on longitudinal waves where the particles are most spread out (lowest pressure on sound wave).
