Across
- 5. A wave that carries energy through a medium without transferring matter
- 6. A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
- 8. The highest point of a transverse wave
- 9. Describes points on a wave that are in the same stage of vibration
- 12. The maximum displacement of a particle from its rest position
- 14. A region in a longitudinal wave where particles are close together
- 15. A region in a longitudinal wave where particles are spread apart
- 16. The lowest point of a transverse wave
- 17. The number of complete waves passing a point per second
Down
- 1. The distance between successive crests or compressions in a wave
- 2. The distance a particle moves from its undisturbed position at a given instant
- 3. A wave in which particles vibrate parallel to the direction of wave travel
- 4. The distance a wave travels per second; found using v = fλ
- 7. A wave produced by a disturbance in a material medium
- 10. Transverse waves that can travel through a vacuum, transferring energy via electric and magnetic fields
- 11. Transverse seismic waves that travel through Earth
- 13. Longitudinal seismic waves that travel through Earth
- 16. A wave in which particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation
