Across
- 6. a wave that is an oscillation of matter and is responsible for the transfer of energy through a medium
- 7. a point on a surface wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum
- 9. A substance that makes possible the transfer of energy from one location to another, especially through waves
- 12. a class of waves in which the particles of the disturbed medium are displaced in a direction that is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave
- 13. the capacity for doing work
- 14. the measurement of the number of times that a repeated event occurs per unit of time
- 15. The distance between one peak or crest of a wave and the next peak or crest
Down
- 1. periodic back-and-forth motion of the particles of an elastic body or medium
- 2. a measurement of the amount of energy transferred by a wave
- 3. a disturbance in a medium that carries energy without a net movement of particles
- 4. the reduction of an item's density, the opposite of compression
- 5. the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one event (or cycle) per second
- 8. decrease in volume of any object or substance resulting from applied stress
- 10. the lowest point on a wave
- 11. motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance
