Across
  1. 5. POSITION - no vibration is happening in the medium
  2. 6. - a wave that causes the medium to vibrate at right angles to the direction the wave travels
  3. 8. – maximum displacement from rest position; height or depth of wave
  4. 14. - an area where the particles in a medium are closer together
  5. 16. - an area where the particles in a medium are spread apart
  6. 18. – two or more waves combine to produce a smaller wave
  7. 19. -a disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another
  8. 21. – two or more waves combine to produce a bigger wave
  9. 23. – bending a wave as it moves around an obstacle or moves through a narrow opening
  10. 24. – the length of time required for one cycle of a complete motion to return to its starting point
Down
  1. 1. - a wave that travels along a surface separating two media
  2. 2. - the highest point of the wave above the rest position
  3. 3. – bending a wave as it enters a new medium at an angle
  4. 4. – two or more wavs overlap and combine together
  5. 7. – a point on a standing wave that has no displacement from the rest position
  6. 9. – the distance between a point on one wave and the same point on the next wave
  7. 10. – a wave that appears to stay in place
  8. 11. – motion that repeats at regular time intervals
  9. 12. - a wave in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels
  10. 13. – a wave bounces off a surface it cannot pass through
  11. 15. – the number of complete cycles in a given time; how many
  12. 17. – a point where a crest or trough occurs midway between two nodes on a standing wave
  13. 20. - the material through which a wave travels
  14. 22. - the lowest point of the wave below the rest position
