Across
  1. 1. The bottommost dip in a wave pattern.
  2. 3. Waves made of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that can move through empty space.
  3. 4. A wave motion where particles move back and forth along the wave’s path.
  4. 9. A wave motion where particles move sideways relative to the wave’s direction.
  5. 12. Waves that move by causing vibrations in a physical substance.
  6. 13. Duration of time it takes for one complete wave motion to repeat.
  7. 14. Measure of how often a repeating wave occurs in a given amount of time.
  8. 15. The strength or intensity of a wave measured by how far it moves from its rest position.
Down
  1. 2. A regular repeating movement around a middle position.
  2. 5. Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between radio waves and infrared, used for heating food and communication.
  3. 6. Part of a longitudinal wave where particles are spread farther apart.
  4. 7. Invisible radiation just beyond the violet end of visible light, often responsible for sunburn.
  5. 8. Length of one repeating section of a wave pattern.
  6. 10. The topmost point reached by a moving wave.
  7. 11. Invisible radiation just beyond red light, commonly felt as thermal energy.
