Physical Sci Vocab 22
Across
- 1. Particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the movement of the wave.
- 4. A substance or material that carries the wave.
- 5. The original resting position of a wave or particle.
- 8. Particles of the medium move in the same direction as the movement of the wave.
- 10. Particles moving back and forth in a regular, repeating motion/pattern.
- 11. The lowest point of a wave.
- 12. A wave produced by mechanical movement or a vibrating object.
- 14. The area in a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart.
- 15. The number of times a wave cycles through in one second.
Down
- 2. The distance between the equilibrium and crest or trough.
- 3. A measure of the distance between adjacent peaks of a wave or one wave cycle.
- 6. When charged particles interact with magnetic fields around planets or objects containing metal, this causes the charged particles to oscillate.
- 7. A transport of energy from one location to another.
- 9. The area in a longitudinal wave where the particles are pressed together.
- 13. The highest point of a wave.
