Wave Properties
Across
- 4. the lowest points on a transverse wave
- 7. the regions of the longitudinal wave that are closest together
- 8. the maximum distance that the wave moves from its rest position
- 10. makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave travels
- 12. a wave that can only travel through matter
- 15. the change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge of an object or through an opening
- 16. the bouncing of a wave of a surface
- 18. the regions of a longitudinal wave the particles are farthest apart
- 19. the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
Down
- 1. the highest points on a transverse wave
- 2. is a wave that can travel through empty space and through matter
- 3. the passage of light through an object
- 5. the change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to another
- 6. when a wave is reflected from a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
- 9. occurs when waves that overlap combine, forming a new wave
- 11. a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
- 13. the transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels
- 14. a material in which a wave travels
- 17. the number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
- 20. a wave in the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels
