Across
- 3. distance traveled by a wave per unit time
- 4. the point where the particles are farther apart in a longitudinal wave
- 7. - a type of wave in the electromagnetic spectrum and is the longest of all electromagnetic waves
- 12. a type of wave that does not require a medium to travel
- 14. a type of wave in the electromagnetic spectrum that is emmited by radioactive chemicals like cobalt and cesium and they are highly penetating because of its very short wavelength and has the highest frequency
- 16. number of waves produced per unit time
- 18. maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its resting position
- 19. waves that are generated by an earthquake
- 20. a type of wave that requires a medium to travel
Down
- 1. distance between any two successive points in a wave
- 2. time taken for one complete cycle of the wave to pass a reference point
- 5. the point where the particles are closer together in a longitudinal wave
- 6. a wave which the particles of the medium are vibrating in a parallel way
- 8. a spectrum that describes the entire range of electromagnetic radiation arranged in frequency or wavelength
- 9. disturbance that travels through a medium or vacuum and carries energy
- 10. single, unrepeated disturbance
- 11. succession of periodic disturbances
- 13. a wave which the particles of the medium are vibrating perpedicularly
- 15. the lowest point of a wave in a transverse wave
- 17. the highest point of a wave in a transverse wave
