4. Is the bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another.
7. The process by which a object is made to virbrate by absorbing enegry at its natural frequencies is called...
9. Is a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers enegry through matter or space.
10. is related to energy carried by a wave.
11. Matter in the medium moves back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave travels.
14. This less-dense region of a compressional wave is called
16. Is a special type of wave pattern that forms when waves equal in wavelength and amplitude, but traveling in opposite directions, continuously interfere with each other.

1. of a wave is the amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point
2. When two more waves overlap and combine to form a new wave, this process is called...
3. Alternating High points, Called...
5. matter in the medium moves back and forth along the same direction that the wave travels.
6. Low points, called...
8. Occurs when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it.
12. of a wave is the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second.
13. Is the distance bewteen one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it
