Across
- 3. A disturbance that carries energy from one place to another without carrying matter
- 5. When a wave comes in contact with a medium and the medium takes some of the energy away from the wave and less of the energy is reflected
- 8. The lowest point of a wave
- 12. The number of complete waves or cycles that pass a fixed point in a specific unit of time
- 13. The height of the wave (is half the vertical distance from crest to trough
- 15. Waves that require a medium through which to travel
- 17. The interference that occurs when two waves combine to make a wave with a smaller amplitude
- 18. The distance between one wave crest or trough and the next
- 19. Material through which a wave travels
- 20. The time it that it takes a complete cycle or wave oscillation to occur
Down
- 1. A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which a wave travels
- 2. The highest point of a wave
- 4. A wave that consists of an associated electric and magnetic fields and can travel through a medium and empty space
- 6. A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels
- 7. The interference that occurs when two waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude
- 9. Colors of the visible spectrum in order of highest wavelength and lowest frequency
- 10. The bending of a wave as it enters a new medium
- 11. Frequency x Wavelength
- 14. The bending of a wave around a barrier
- 16. The bouncing back of a wave as it hits a surface
