Across
  1. 3. – The highest point of a transverse wave.
  2. 5. wave – A wave that appears stationary, formed by two identical waves moving in opposite directions.
  3. 8. interference – When two waves combine to make a larger amplitude.
  4. 10. – The way a wave moves or spreads through a medium or space.
  5. 13. wave – A wave where particles move parallel to the direction the wave travels.
  6. 14. interference – When two waves combine and reduce or cancel the amplitude.
  7. 15. – The number of wave cycles that occur in one second.
  8. 16. harmonic motion – Repeating back-and-forth motion around an equilibrium position.
Down
  1. 1. – One complete back-and-forth motion of a wave or object.
  2. 2. wave – A wave that requires a medium to travel through.
  3. 4. – The distance between two identical points on a wave (such as crest to crest).
  4. 6. – The time it takes for one complete wave cycle.
  5. 7. (waves) – The material or substance through which a wave travels.
  6. 9. – The lowest point of a transverse wave.
  7. 11. – The maximum distance a wave moves from its rest position.
  8. 12. wave – A wave where particles move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
