Across
  1. 2. A wave pattern that oscillates in time but does not move in space, appearing to stand still
  2. 5. A mechanical wave where particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of energy
  3. 7. A type of wave where the displacement of the medium or field is perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation
  4. 10. The maximum of a vibration measured from the position of equilibrium
  5. 12. The substance or material - solid, liquid, or gas - through which a wave travels
  6. 13. The movement, transmission, or spreading of waves through a medium or across space
  7. 14. The highest point of a wave/the peak
  8. 15. The number of complete cycles, waves, or oscillations that occur in a set amount of time
  9. 16. 2 or more waves of the same frequency and phase overlap to produce a new wave
Down
  1. 1. Transfers energy without transporting energy
  2. 3. 2 or more waves of the same frequency and amplitude meet while out of phase, cancelling each other out
  3. 4. The lowest point of a wave/the ditch
  4. 6. The repetitive back and forth motion or fluctuation of a system
  5. 8. The spatial period of a wave defined as the distance between consecutive corresponding points of the same phase
  6. 9. The time taken for a complete cycle to occur
  7. 11. When an object oscillates back and forth around an equilibrium position
