PS 6.1.1 & 6.1.2
Across
- 7. Any substance through which a wave can travel.
- 8. A section in a longitudinal wave where particles are loosely packed together.
- 10. The lowest point of a traverse wave.
- 13. A disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space.
- 15. One of the two properties of a medium that affect a waves speed. This is the ability of a medium to return quickly to its original shape.
- 16. The maximum distance a wave vibrates from its resting position.
- 18. The highest point of a transverse wave.
- 20. The distance between corresponding points on a wave.
- 21. A section in a longitudinal wave where the particles are loosely packed together
- 23. A wave in which the movement of the medium's particles is parallel to the direction of the wave's movement and rarefactions.
Down
- 1. A wave in which the particles move in a circular motion.
- 2. The number of complete waves that pass a particular point in a unit of time.
- 3. Shorter wavelengths generally produce faster more______forms of radiation.
- 4. Waves begin as these.
- 5. Waves that require a medium to travel through.
- 6. A wave in which the medium's particles move in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the waves movement.
- 9. One of the two properties of a medium that affect a waves speed. Mechanical waves travel faster through a medium with more of this.
- 11. The unit frequency is measured in.
- 12. V represents this in the wave speed formula.
- 14. Most sound waves travel through this medium.
- 17. The time it takes two successive wave crests or troughs to pass a given point.
- 19. The distance between a crest and a trough.
- 22. The shorter the wavelength the greater ___ of the wave.
