  1. 4. interference, The phenomenon where two or more waves superimpose to produce a wave with a larger amplitude than any of the individual waves.
  2. 9. A point along a standing wave where the wave has minimum amplitude due to destructive interference.
  3. 10. wave, A wave that moves from one place to another, transferring energy through the medium.
  4. 13. An imaginary line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence where a wave strikes a surface.
  5. 15. The time it takes for one complete cycle of a wave to pass a given point.
  6. 16. The process by which two or more waves overlap and combine to form a new wave pattern.
  7. 20. Maker (thewordfinder.com)
  8. 21. pulse, A single disturbance that moves through a medium, as opposed to a continuous wave.
Down
  1. 1. The distance between successive crests or troughs of a wave.
  2. 2. waves, Waves that travel along the surface of a medium and have characteristics of both transverse and longitudinal waves.
  3. 3. The number of complete cycles of a wave that pass a given point per unit time, usually measured in hertz (Hz).
  4. 5. The bending and spreading of waves around obstacles and through openings.
  5. 6. The lowest points on a wave.
  6. 7. The maximum displacement of points on a wave, measured from the wave's equilibrium position.
  7. 8. The highest points on a wave.
  8. 11. wave, A wave in which the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.
  9. 12. wave, A wave that remains in a constant position, typically formed by the interference of two traveling waves moving in opposite directions.
  10. 14. The bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another, due to a change in the wave's speed.
  11. 17. wave, A wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation.
  12. 18. interference, The phenomenon where two or more waves superimpose to produce a wave with a smaller amplitude than any of the individual waves.
  13. 19. A point along a standing wave where the wave has maximum amplitude due to constructive interference.
