Across
  1. 7. bending the wave through an opening or around the edge of an object
  2. 8. total distance a wave moves from its resting position
  3. 9. lowest point of a wave
  4. 10. oscillations (vibrations of the wave) are perpendicular to direction of the waves (string, water)
  5. 11. the time needed for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point
  6. 14. the number of times a wave passes a certain point in a given amount of time
  7. 15. highest point of a wave
Down
  1. 1. energy that travels through matter (e.g., sound, ocean waves, and earthquake waves)
  2. 2. horizontal distance between the crest or between the troughs of two adjacent waves
  3. 3. where the wave pushes matter farther apart
  4. 4. the unit of frequency, equal to one cycle per second
  5. 5. when two or more waves arrive at the same point and occupy the same space
  6. 6. oscillations (vibrations of the wave) are in the same direction as the wave (slinky, sound waves)
  7. 12. where the wave pushes the matter closer together
  8. 13. the bouncing back of a ray of light, sound, or heat when the ray hits a surface that it does not go through
