Across
- 3. distance between two corresponding parts of a wave
- 5. the movement or spread of waves through a medium
- 7. lowest amplitude
- 8. the measurement of maximum displacement
- 10. wave a wave that appears stagnant despite moving
- 11. highest amplitude
- 12. harmonic motion a special type of periodic, back-and-forth motion where an object oscillates around an equilibrium position
- 15. the repetitive motion of an object or system around a central equilibrium point
- 16. interference 2 waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude
Down
- 1. waves waves that require a medium to travel
- 2. interference amps of 2 waves combine & produce a smaller amp
- 4. waves matter vibrates in the same direction as wave travels
- 6. the number of complete cycles that occur in a specific unit of time
- 9. the material through which a wave travels
- 13. time interval required to complete one full cycle of a repetitive motion
- 14. waves waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves are travelling
