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