Across
- 5. makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave travels
- 7. a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels
- 8. the maximum distance a wave moves from its rest position
- 9. the regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together
- 12. the regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart
- 13. a material a wave travels through
- 15. the change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to another
- 16. the transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels
- 17. the bouncing of a wave off a surface
- 18. the number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
- 19. the highest point on a transverse wave
Down
- 1. a wave that can travel through empty space and through matter
- 2. the passage of light through an object
- 3. occurs when waves that overlap combine forming a new wave
- 4. the change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge of an object or through an opening
- 6. the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
- 10. when a wave is reflected from a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
- 11. a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
- 14. a wave that can only travel through matter
- 20. the lowest point on a transverse wave
