Across
  1. 2. the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time
  2. 6. the substance that transfers the energy, or light from one substance to another substance or from one place to another, or from one surface to another.
  3. 7. the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.
  4. 9. the capacity for doing work.
  5. 13. are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field.
  6. 14. motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance.
  7. 16. a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.
Down
  1. 1. a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
  2. 3. Position where the medium shows no disturbance
  3. 4. where particles are pressed together in a longitudinal wave
  4. 5. The oscillating, reciprocating, or other periodic motion of a rigid or elastic body or medium forced from a position or state of equilibrium.
  5. 8. where the displacement of the medium is at a minimum
  6. 10. where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum
  7. 11. is the distance traveled per unit of time.
  8. 12. where particles are spread out in a longitudinal wave
  9. 15. propagation of disturbances from place to place in a regular and organized way.
  10. 17. the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave.
