Sound waves
Across
- 3. The height of a sound wave; determines how loud the sound is.
- 6. Type of wave in which particles vibrate parallel to the direction of travel.
- 9. Type of wave in which particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of travel
- 13. A reflected sound wave.
- 15. The substance (solid, liquid, or gas) through which sound travels.
- 16. Number of vibrations per second; measured in hertz (Hz).
- 17. The region of a sound wave where particles are close together.
- 18. Perceived intensity of sound
Down
- 1. The region of a sound wave where particles are spread out.
- 2. The bouncing back of sound waves from a surface.
- 4. Distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions.
- 5. Sound waves with frequencies above the range of human hearing.
- 7. Distance sound travels per unit time
- 8. The unit used to measure sound intensity
- 10. The back-and-forth motion that produces sound.
- 11. A space with no particles — sound cannot travel through it.
- 12. The unit of frequency.
- 14. How high or low a sound is, depending on frequency.
