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