Waves
Across
- 4. Is the number of wavelengths that pass a given point in 1 second.
- 7. Uses matter to transfer energy.
- 9. The bending of waves around a barrier.
- 11. Is the distance from the top of one crest to the top of another crest.
- 12. Can travel where there is no matter.
Down
- 1. When two waves combine to form a new wave when they overlap.
- 2. A rhythmic disturbance that carries energy without carrying matter.
- 3. Is the distance of one half of a transverse wave from the rest position to the crest or trough.
- 5. The wave where energy that causes matter in the medium to move up and down and back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave travels.
- 6. The bending of a wave as it moves from one medium to another.
- 8. Occurs when the matter in the medium moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels.
- 10. Occurs when a wave strikes an object or surface and bounces off.
