Waves
Across
- 2. these waves only travel through matter
- 3. this wave makes the particles in matter move back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave is traveling
- 5. this wave makes the particles in matter move back and forth in the same direction the wave is traveling
- 6. earthquake waves; a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves
- 9. half the distance between a crest and trough
- 12. part of a compressional wave that is spread apart
- 13. high point of a transverse wave
- 14. a disturbance that moves through matter or empty space; carries energy, not matter
- 15. this is carried by waves
- 16. these waves travel as vibrations through matter
Down
- 1. part of a compressional wave that is squeezed together
- 4. this wave that can travel through matter and empty space
- 7. low point of a transverse wave
- 8. the number of wavelengths that pass by a point in one second
- 10. the distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point that is moving with the same speed and direction
- 11. wavelength times frequency
