Across
  1. 2. – The length of one full wave cycle.
  2. 3. – What's needed to make something happen or change.
  3. 5. – A sound's position on the high-to-low scale.
  4. 6. – A wave rebounding after hitting a barrier.
  5. 8. – How far a wave's peak or trough sits from the middle line.
  6. 9. – A wave that needs a medium to travel and can be picked up by our ears.
  7. 11. – When a material soaks up wave energy rather than letting it pass or bounce off.
  8. 12. – A measure of how soft or loud a sound is.
  9. 13. – A crowded region in a longitudinal wave.
  10. 16. – Why a siren sounds different as it moves past you.
  11. 19. – How many complete waves occur in one second.
Down
  1. 1. – A disturbance carrying energy from place to place, without moving matter along with it.
  2. 3. – A family of waves that can travel through empty space (vacuum).
  3. 4. – The only part of the EM spectrum humans can detect with their eyes.
  4. 7. – Movement of an object as its position changes with time.
  5. 10. – A wave type where the medium moves back and forth in line with the wave's direction.
  6. 14. – A wave changing direction as it enters a new material at an angle.
  7. 15. – A wave type where the medium moves up and down while the wave moves sideways.
  8. 17. – A thinly spread-out region in a longitudinal wave.
  9. 18. – How quickly a wave covers distance.
