  1. 3. The time it takes for one complete cycle of a repeating event or motion to occur.
  2. 6. the spatial period in a wave, defining the distance between consecutive corresponding points of the same place.
  3. 7. The substances or material (solid, liquid, gas) through which waves, such as sound, light, or seismic waves
  4. 8. The repetitive,periodic variation of a physical quantity about a central equilibrium value.
  5. 9. wave A disturbance that transfers energy through a physical medium
  6. 12. The movement, transmission, or spreading of waves.
  7. 14. Harmonic motion: A special type of periodic, oscillatory motion where an object moves back and forth around an equilibrium position.
  8. 15. Wave A moving wave whose oscillations occur perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of energy transfer.
Down
  1. 1. The lowest point or maximum displacement of a wave.
  2. 2. wave A mechanical wave where particles of the medium vibrates parallel to (in the same direction as)
  3. 4. wave A wave pattern formed by the interference of two waves with the same frequency.
  4. 5. The number of complete cycles or oscillations a wave or periodic event occurs per unit at a time.
  5. 10. The highest point or peak of a transverse wave, representing the maximum displacement.
  6. 11. Interference A phenomenon in physics where two or morewaves of the same frequency and phrases superimpose
  7. 13. The maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium.
