Across
- 2. The upward maximum amplitude point on a wave
- 3. A continuously generated pulse and its reflection that have stationary nodes and antinodes
- 6. Waves that add their crests and troughs together to form bigger crests and troughs
- 7. A waveform that needs a medium
- 9. How often the pulses pass by...how many pulses happen in a certain time period
- 10. A way of transferring energy that does not involve moving matter from one place to another...a collection of pulses
- 14. Only electromagnetic waves can move though this...empty space
- 15. Type of wave that involves compression of a solid, liquid, or gas medium
- 18. The downward maximum amplitude point on a wave
- 19. A point on a standing wave that doesn't move indicating there is minimal energy at that point
- 21. Waves that add their crests to their troughs and cancel each other's waveform
- 22. A waveform that is a combination of longitudinal and transverse wave...circular motion of particles
- 24. The rest state of a wave...before crests, troughs, compressions and rarefactions are created
- 25. The time for a single pulse to pass
Down
- 1. Type of wave that vibrates perpendicular to wave movement direction
- 4. A transverse wave that doesn't need a medium to move
- 5. The width of a single pulse of a wave
- 8. A waveform that is a twisting transverse wave...like a jump rope
- 11. The height of a wave measured from rest or equilibrium
- 12. An example of a mechanical wave
- 13. An example of an electromagnetic wave
- 16. Forms of matter...solid, liquid, gas, plasma
- 17. A single ripple of energy which can combine with other ripples to form a wave
- 20. A decompression point on a longitudinal wave
- 23. A point on a wave that has maximum energy, usually associated with a compression region or a crest or trough region
