Across
- 2. these waves travel fastest in a vacuum
- 6. tuning forks are a great example of this
- 8. a rhythmic disturbance that transfers energy
- 9. the way matter moves in a transverse wave
- 12. a solid, liquid, or gas that a wave travels through
- 14. when an object causes a wave to bend around it
- 18. the way matter moves in a longitudinal wave
- 20. the bending of waves caused by a change in speed
Down
- 1. the lowest point on a transverse wave
- 3. when 2 or more waves combine
- 4. waves that do not need a medium to travel through
- 5. distance from one point to the next just like it (crest to crest, or trough to trough)
- 7. the # of waves that pass a given point each second
- 10. the highest point on a transverse wave
- 11. measure of wave energy
- 13. these waves travel fastest in solids.
- 15. when a wave strikes an object and bounces off
- 16. waves that must have a medium to travel through
- 17. the relationship between frequency and period is...
- 19. amount of time for 1 wavelength to pass a point
