  4. 9. The number of vibrations an object makes in a unit of time.
  5. 10. Low points on a wave.
  6. 12. is a regular arrangement of places where wave effects are increased, decreased, or neutralized.
  7. 14. When the particles oscillate parallel to or along the direction of the wave.
  8. 15. A repeating disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space
  9. 16. the time of a back-and-forth swing of a pendulum.
  10. 17. Whenever the motion of the medium is at right angles to the direction in which a wave travels.
  11. 18. The bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it travels from one medium to another
Down
  1. 1. the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another and their individual effects are reduced.
  2. 2. the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another and their individual effects add together.
