Across
  1. 4. A wave produced by a vibrating objecting
  2. 5. The height of a wave, the maximum displacement of a wave from
  3. 7. The rate at which a wave moves through matter or across space
  4. 8. the “highness” or ”lowness” of a sound, determined by the frequency
  5. 11. A wave where particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the movement of the wave.
  6. 12. vibrations traveling through a medium that can be heard
  7. 14. The maximum upward displacement of a wave
  8. 15. A change in direction of a wave when it bounces off a surface or object
  9. 17. The number of times a wave cycles in one second or the number of wave cycles in one second
  10. 19. The rest position
  11. 20. A repeating, back-and-forth motion
  12. 21. The time it takes for a wave to complete one wave cycle
  13. 24. NOT the height of a wave from “bottom to top”
  14. 25. the loudness of sound, determined by the amplitude
Down
  1. 1. The length of one wave cycle (the complete path of a wave from
  2. 2. The combination of two waves to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude
  3. 3. one complete path of a wave.
  4. 6. ​​The substance through which a wave travels
  5. 9. A wave where particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the movement of the wave.
  6. 10. the dampening of a sound
  7. 13. point on a wave to the corresponding point on the next cycle)
  8. 16. the maximum downward displacement of a wave
  9. 18. ​​The bending of a wave when it enters a medium because the speed of the wave changes
  10. 22. The bending of a wave when it passes through a slit or around an edge
  11. 23. a regular pattern of motion created by a vibratory disturbance
