Across
  1. 3. This is the flow of electrons through a circuit. It is measured in amperes.
  2. 7. This type of circuit has only one pathway for the current to follow.
  3. 10. This is when a wave bounces off of a surface – like a light wave bouncing off of a mirror.
  4. 12. Through which of the following materials does sound travel the fastest: solids, liquids, or gases?
  5. 13. This is the total energy of all of the molecules in a substance. It is measured in Joules
  6. 15. This quantity is proportional to the average kinetic energy per molecule.
  7. 17. This type of wave can travel through space because it does not need a medium to travel through.
Down
  1. 1. This is the stuff (or matter) through which a mechanical wave travels.
  2. 2. This is the length of one wave cycle
  3. 4. In this type of wave the particles in the wave move perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving
  4. 5. This quantity is the number of cycles per second.
  5. 6. the unit for temperature
  6. 8. In this type of wave the particles move parallel to the wave direction
  7. 9. the unit for thermal energy
  8. 11. This is the unit for frequency.
  9. 14. This is when a wave bends as it goes through a material. It is due to a change in wave speed.
  10. 16. This type of circuit has multiple pathways for the current to follow
