Across
- 4. the bending of a wave as it changes speed in moving from one medium to another.
- 5. a wave for which the matter in the medium moves back and forth along the direction that the wave travels
- 6. a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space
- 9. the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second; expressed in hertz
- 11. occurs when two or more waves overlap and combine to form a new wave
- 13. The bending of waves around an obstacle
- 14. wave for which the matter in the medium moves back and forth at right angles to the direction the wave travels
- 15. matter in which a wave travels.
- 16. distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it.
Down
- 1. the lowest points on a transverse wave.
- 2. a wave pattern that forms when waves of equal wavelength and amplitude, but traveling in opposite directions, continuously interfere with each other
- 3. The highest points on a transverse wave.
- 7. maximum distance a wave causes the particles in a medium to move from the rest position.
- 8. The least dense regions of a compressional wave.
- 10. the process by which an object is made to vibrate by absorbing energy at its natural frequencies
- 12. the amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a fixed point.
