8. A form of energy that travels through space as waves and includes visible light, X-rays, and radio waves.
10. When two waves combine to form a wave with a larger amplitude.
12. The maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position.
13. The substance through which a wave travels.
15. The spreading out of waves as they pass through a narrow opening or around obstacles.

1. A type of wave where particles move parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
2. The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface it cannot pass through.
3. The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave.
4. The number of wave cycles that pass a point per second.
5. A type of wave where particles move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
6. The distance a wave travels per unit of time.
7. The range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, from radio waves to gamma rays.
9. The change in frequency or pitch of a sound as the source moves relative to the observer.
11. The bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another.
14. When two waves combine to form a wave with a smaller amplitude.
