Across
- 3. When the crest of one wave has a smaller amplitude than the larger of the two waves.
- 6. The change in the observed frequency of a wave
- 8. A wave that requires a medium
- 11. Waves in which the motion of the particles is perpendicular to the motion of the wave
- 13. The bending of waves as they pass an edge
- 16. The greatest distance that particles are displaced from their normal resting positions
- 17. Matter a wave travels through
- 19. Consists of changing electric and magnetic fields in space
Down
- 1. Interference between a wave and its reflected wave
- 2. When waves overlap and create a wave whose amplitude is the sum of the amplitudes of the two individual waves.
- 4. When several waves are in the same location, they combine to produce a single, new wave that is different from the original waves
- 5. The distance from one crest to the next crest or from trough to trough
- 7. Waves that cause the particles in a medium to vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave motion
- 9. The high point of a transverse wave
- 10. The bouncing back of a wave when it meets a surface or boundary
- 12. The time required for one complete vibration of a particle in a medium
- 14. The number of wavelengths that pass a point in a given time interval
- 15. The bending of waves when they pass from one medium into another
- 18. Low points of a transverse wave
