Across
  1. 4. wave A type of transverse wave that doesn’t need a medium (e.g., light, radio waves).
  2. 6. line The original, undisturbed position of particles.
  3. 9. The lowest point of a transverse wave.
  4. 10. One complete back-and-forth movement of a particle in a wave.
  5. 11. The material (like air, water, or solids) through which a wave travels.
  6. 12. The number of waves passing a point per second (measured in Hz).
  7. 14. The region in a longitudinal wave where particles are spread out.
Down
  1. 1. The maximum distance a particle moves from the rest position (basically, wave “strength”).
  2. 2. The distance between two identical points in a wave (like crest to crest).
  3. 3. wave A wave where particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of travel (e.g., light waves).
  4. 5. The highest point of a transverse wave.
  5. 7. A space with no matter; only certain waves (like electromagnetic ones) can travel here.
  6. 8. A wave where particles vibrate parallel to the direction of travel (e.g., sound waves).
  7. 13. A transfer of energy through space or a medium without transferring matter.
