Across
- 5. Particles of a medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the motion of the wave.
- 7. When the frequency of an external force matches the natural frequency of the body then the body oscillates with large amplitude.
- 8. The maximum distance that particles of a wave’s medium vibrate from their rest position

Down
- 1. Resistance to motion due to one object rubbing against another
