Across
  1. 7. matter in the medium moves back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave is traveling.
  2. 9. where particles are spread apart in a longitudinal wave.
  3. 11. waves (like sound) must travel through particles, therefore travel fastest through solids, then liquids, then gases, due to the closeness of the particles.
  4. 12. waves (like light) do not need a medium, therefore travel fastest through a vacuum, and slowest through solids.
  5. 14. the amount of energy carried by a wave.
  6. 16. matter through which a wave travels through; can be solid, liquid, or gas.
  7. 17. (𝞴) the distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it.
Down
  1. 1. (aka compressional waves) matter in the medium moves back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling.
  2. 2. where particles are pushed together in a longitudinal wave.
  3. 3. a rhythmic (or repeating) disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space.
  4. 4. (𝒇) the number of waves that pass a given point in one second.
  5. 5. Waves waves that can only travel through a medium.
  6. 6. Waves waves capable of transferring energy through a vacuum.
  7. 8. speed (v) how fast the wave travels.
  8. 10. (aka peak) highest points of a transverse wave.
  9. 13. the lowest points of a transverse wave.
  10. 15. (T) the amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point.
