Across
  1. 1. The distance from the midpoint to the crest
  2. 3. interference the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another and their individual effects are reduced.
  3. 5. Curve A pictorial representation of a wave
  4. 8. Wave Whenever the motion of the medium is at right angles to the direction in which a wave travels.
  5. 10. are the stationary points on a standing wave
  6. 11. The distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next one
  7. 13. interference the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another and their individual effects add together.
  8. 14. the time of a back-and-forth swing of a pendulum.
  9. 15. Effect this apparent change in frequency due to the motion of the source (or receiver).
Down
  1. 1. the positions on a standing wave with the largest amplitudes
  2. 2. High points on a wave
  3. 4. The number of vibrations an object makes in a unit of time
  4. 6. Pattern is a regular arrangement of places where wave effects are increased, decreased, or neutralized
  5. 7. Low points on a wave
  6. 9. Harmonic Motion the back-and-forth vibratory motion (oscillatory motion), of a swinging pendulum.
  7. 12. Wave When the particles oscillate parallel to or along the direction of the wave.
