Across
- 4. a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves
- 5. a disturbance that travels through a medium, transporting energy from one location to another without transporting matter.
- 6. a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction that the wave moves
- 7. at an angle of 90° to a given line, plane, or surface
- 9. a wave that is not capable of transmitting energy through a vacuum (sound wave, slinky wave, water wave)
- 10. side by side and having the same distance continuously between them
Down
- 1. a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced, at rest
- 2. a wave that is capable of transmitting energy through a vacuum (empty space) and produced by the vibration of charged particles (light wave, radio wave)
- 3. a single disturbance moving through a medium from one location to another
- 8. a wave in which particles of the medium undergo a circular motion
