Waves v7

2. One of the places in a wave where the wave is highest or the disturbance is greatest.
3. The symbol used for wavelength (written out as a word).
5. The distance between successive crests, troughs, or identical parts of a wave.
8. A wave in which individual particles of a medium vibrate back and forth along (parallel to) the direction in which the wave travels.
13. __________ point The middle of a wave vertical axis; used to show the amplitude.
14. The unit for wavelength.
16. More than one wave occupies the same space at the same time; the displacements add at every point.

1. _______ wave The stationary wave pattern formed in a medium when two sets of identical waves pass through the medium in opposite directions.
4. The maximum displacement on either side of the equilibrium position.
6. A wave with vibrations at right angles (perpendicular) to the direction the wave is traveling.
7. The spreading or extension of a wave.
9. The lowest part of a wave.
10. A wave’s peak-to-peak, or trough-to-trough.
11. The number or crests that pass a particular point per unit time.
12. The unit for frequency.
15. The amount of time required to complete a cycle.
