Mechanical Waves

4. When 2 or more waves add together
7. Area of no movement in a standing wave
8. Lowest point of a transverse wave
10. Area of movement in a standing wave
12. Height of a wave
13. "The response of one standing wave to another wave of the same frequency"
16. "Medium vibrates parallel (in the same direction) as the wave"
17. A solid, liquid, or gas a wave travels through
19. "A Wave that appears to stay in one place. (Hint: 2 words,no space)"
20. "A _____ wave travels along the surface separating 2 media"

1. "The distance from crest of one wave to the crest of the next wave"
2. "Area in longitudinal wave where particles are farthest apart"
3. "Occurs when 2 or more waves overlap and
5. "A ________ wave is created when a source of energy causes a vibration to move through a medium"
6. Highest point of a transverse wave
9. "Area in a longitudinal wave where particles are closest together"
11. "Increasing the wavelength, causes the frequency to decrease; thus, the two are ____________ proportional"
14. "Medium vibrates at a right angle (Perpendicular) from the direction of the wave"
15. "When 2 or more waves take away from each
18. "The number of waves that pass through a given point in a set time"
