6. High points on a wave.
9. The distance from the midpoint to the crest (or trough) of the wave.

12. The distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next one.
13. When the particles oscillate parallel to or along the direction of the wave.
14. The bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it travels from one medium to another

1. A pictorial representation of a wave.
2. the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another and their individual effects add together.
3. The number of vibrations an object makes in a unit of time.
4. is a regular arrangement of places where wave effects are increased, decreased, or neutralized.
