Across
- 4. can travel through empty space and through matter.
- 6. disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another
- 7. number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second.
- 10. makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction of the wave.
- 12. disturbance is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
- 14. highest point on a transverse wave.
Down
- 1. material in which a mechanical wave travels.
- 2. distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave.
- 3. travels only through matter.
- 5. region of a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart.
- 8. maximum distance particles in a medium move from their rest position as waves pass through the medium.
- 9. region of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together.
- 11. ability to cause change.
- 13. lowest point on a transverse wave.
