Across
- 2. a disturbance caused by a vibration; Waves travel away from the source that makes them.
- 3. distance traveled per unit of time
- 6. a wave that occurs when the particles of a medium move parallel to the direction of the wave
- 9. the number of cycles a wave completes in a period of time; the number of times something happens in a period of time
- 10. the highest point of the wave
- 11. a wave that moves along the interface of two different materials
- 12. an object's mass divided by its volume; a measure of how many particles are packed together into a certain amount of space
Down
- 1. a wave that occurs when the particles of a medium are displaced perpendicularly to the direction of the wave
- 4. occurs when rocks are squeezed by external forces directed toward one another to put stress on the rock, acting to decrease its volume or shorten its dimensions
- 5. the distance between one peak and the next on a wave
- 7. the lowest point of the wave
- 8. the matter through which a wave travels
