Across
  1. 3. Low point of a transverse wave.
  2. 4. Locations where the interfering waves always cancel.
  3. 5. More dense region of a longitudinal wave.
  4. 7. Waves that can only travel through air.
  5. 11. Less-dense region of a longitudinal wave.
  6. 12. Matter in the medium nove back and forth along the same direction that the wave travels.
  7. 16. Particles in the medium move back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave travels.
  8. 19. Distance between one point on a wave and the nearest poit just like it.
  9. 20. Amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point.
Down
  1. 1. The process of two or more waves overlapping and combining to form a new wave.
  2. 2. Special type of wave pattern that forms when waves equal in wavelength and ampliture but travel in opposite directions continuously interfere with each other.
  3. 6. Process by which an object is made to vibrate by absorbing energy at its natural frequencies.
  4. 8. Made by vibrating electric charges.
  5. 9. Number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second.
  6. 10. Measure of the size of the disturbance from a wave.
  7. 13. Bending of a wave around an object.
  8. 14. High point of a transverse wave.
  9. 15. A repeating disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space.
  10. 17. Bending of a wave caused by change in its speed as it travels from one medium to another.
  11. 18. Matter through which a wave travels.
