Across
- 3. more dense region of a longitudinal wave
- 5. the distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point
- 6. measure of size of the disturbance from a wave
- 8. high points of a transverse wave
- 9. a process in which an object is made to vibrate by absorbing energy at its natural frequencies
- 10. the amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point.
- 13. the bending of a wave caused by a change in speed as it travels from one medium to another
- 16. the less dense region of a longitudinal wave
- 18. a special type of wave pattern that forms when waves equal in wavelength and amplitude but traveling in the opposite directions constantly interfering with each other
- 19. the bending of a wave around an object
Down
- 1. particles in the medium moving back and forth at right angles
- 2. a wave is the number of wavelengths that passes a fixed point each second
- 4. a repeating disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space
- 7. the low points of a transverse wave
- 11. waves that can only travel through matter
- 12. matter in the medium that moves back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels
- 14. two or more waves overlapping and combining to form a new wave
- 15. matter through which a wave travels
- 17. locations where the interfering waves always cancel
