Across
  1. 2. A region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart.
  2. 4. the movement of matter due to differences in density; the transfer of energy due to the movement of matter.
  3. 11. the energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures.
  4. 12. describes matter that allows some light, but not all, of the light that hits is to pass through, and scatters some light.
  5. 14. the maximum distance that the particles of a wave’s medium vibrate from their rest position.
  6. 15. the process of energy changing from one form into another.
  7. 16. a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another: can be single cycle or it can be repeating pattern.
  8. 18. a physical environment in which phenomena occur; for waves, the material though which a wave can travel.
  9. 19. the number of cycles, such as waves, in a given amount of time or the number of waves produced in a given amount of time
  10. 20. a wave requires a medium through which to travel.
  11. 22. the distance from any point on a wave to the corresponding point on the adjacent wave.
  12. 24. a lens having at least one surface curved like the inner surface of a sphere
  13. 25. the energy that an object has because of the position, condition, or chemical composition of the object.
Down
  1. 1. the bouncing back of a ray of light, sound, or heat when the ray hits a surface that it does not go through.
  2. 3. describes matter that allows light to pass through it easily.
  3. 5. the transfer of energy as heat through a material.
  4. 6. a wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion
  5. 7. having at least one surface that curves outward like the exterior of a sphere
  6. 8. a wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction of wave is traveling.
  7. 9. Waves that can travel through matter or space; include radio waves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, X rays, and gamma rays.
  8. 10. the transfers of energy as electromagnetic waves.
  9. 13. the lowest point on a transverse wave.
  10. 17. highest point of a transverse wave.
  11. 21. describes matter that light does not pass through.
  12. 23. the ability to do work or cause change.
