Waves and Whatnot
Across
- 5. a type of wave that requires a medium to travel
- 6. the number of wave cycles per second
- 8. point of lowest density in a longitudinal wave
- 11. highest point above equilibrium
- 14. a physical environment in which a wave travels through
- 15. how high or low a sound is perceived to be
- 16. time required to complete one wave cycle
- 17. lowest point above equilibrium
Down
- 1. a type of wave in which the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave
- 2. the motion of a disturbance
- 3. the distance a wave travels in one cycle
- 4. the unit of measurement used for frequency
- 7. point of highest density in a longitudinal wave
- 9. point on a standing wave with zero displacement
- 10. a type of wave in which the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave
- 12. the distance from equilibrium to the crest or trough
- 13. point on a standing wave with maximum displacement
