Across
- 3. The bottom of a wave.
- 6. The distance between one wave crest and the next, or any other similar point along the wave.
- 7. A disturbance that travels through a medium, transporting energy from place to place without transporting matter.
- 8. When wave energy passes through a medium.
- 9. When light changes direction as it is transmitted, or travels from one medium to another.
- 12. When wave energy bounces off a medium, causing the wave energy to change direction.
Down
- 1. The energy input to that which causes the wave disturbance. The location of the originating energy.
- 2. When wave energy is trapped in a medium and doesn’t pass through.
- 4. A detector of wave energy, which could be natural (ears, eyes) or designed (microphone, camera).
- 5. The matter through which waves travel. The matter can be solid, liquid, or gas (e.g., water or air).
- 10. The number of waves passing by a certain point, such as a receiver, per second.
- 11. The top or peak of a wave.
