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