Across
- 3. the number of waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time
- 9. an increase in the amplitude of a vibration that occurs when external vibrations match the object's natural frequency.
- 14. points in a standing wave with maximum amplitude
- 15. points in a standing wave with zero amplitude
- 16. Wave a wave that vibrates the medium at right angles, or perpendicular to the direction the wave travels
- 19. when a wave hits a surface and has part of the wave that cannot pass through, but rather bounces back.
- 20. the bending and spreading of a wave when it moves around a barrier or through an opening in a barrier
- 21. a measure of frequency. The number of waves per second
- 22. the high point on a transverse wave
- 24. Wave waves that require a medium to travel
Down
- 1. an area where the coils are close together
- 2. the interaction between waves that meet
- 4. Wave vibrates the medium in the same direction as the wave travels (springs)
- 5. the maximum distance the medium vibrates from the rest position
- 6. wave a wave that appears to stand in one place
- 7. a disturbance involving the transfer of energy from place to place
- 8. the low point on a transverse wave
- 10. interference in which waves combine to form a wave with larger amplitude than the original
- 11. a repeated back-and-forth, up-and-down motion
- 12. the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave
- 13. the ability to do work
- 17. bending of waves due to a change in speed.
- 18. interference in which two waves combine to form a wave with smaller amplitude
- 23. an area where the coils are spread out
- 24. the material through which a wave travels
