SCIENCE VOCAB
Across
- 5. To push something together (like springs in longitudinal wave demo)
- 6. The low point of a wave
- 8. Back and forth pattern of motion that transfers energy
- 12. The distance from rest to crest or rest to trough.
- 14. Energy of motion
Down
- 1. The length of one wave; can be measured as the distance from the center of one peak to the center of the next
- 2. Speed in a given direction
- 3. A wave in which the movement of the wave's medium is perpendicular to the movement of the wave traveling through the medium
- 4. A wave that moves a medium parallel (in the direction) to the direction the wave is traveling)
- 7. A rate of something that repeats over and over; the number of complete waves that pass in a certain period of time
- 9. The high point of a wave
- 10. The bouncing back of waves off a surface it can't pass through
- 11. A point where a wave crosses it's resting line; a point of zero amplitude
- 13. A short burst that travels as a wave
