  1. 2. Highest point in a transverse wave.
  2. 5. This type of waves travel in a direction that is parallel to the direction of vibrations.
  3. 7. Wave motion provides a mechanism for the transfer of __________ from one point to another without the physical transfer of any material between the two points.
  4. 8. Source of any wave is a ______________.
  5. 10. Region in a longitudinal wave where particles are far apart from one another.
  6. 12. Number of complete waves generated per second. Also known as the number of crests/troughs that pass a point per second.
Down
  1. 1. Lowest point in a transverse wave.
  2. 3. Region in a longitudinal wave where particles are closest to one another.
  3. 4. Distance between two consecutive crests/troughs.
  4. 6. This type of waves travel in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of vibrations.
  5. 9. Time taken to generate one complete wave. Also known as the time for a crest/trough to move a distance of one wavelength.
  6. 11. Maximum displacement from rest or central position in either direction.
