Across
- 1. The time required for a vibration or a wave to make one complete cycle.
- 3. Disturbance that travels from one place to another transporting energy, but not necessarily matter.
- 7. A wave in which the medium vibrates in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.
- 8. A wave or a vibration, the maximum displacement on either side of the equilibrium.
- 9. Dramatic increase in the amplitude of a wave that results when the frequency of forced vibrations matches an object's natural frequency.
- 10. SI unit of frequency; one hertz (symbol Hz) equals one vibration per second.
Down
- 2. Returning of a wave to the medium from which it came when it hits a barrier.
- 4. Bending of waves due to a change in wave speed.
- 5. Separation of light into colors arranged by frequency.
- 6. Distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next, or the distance between successive identical parts of the wave.
