Across
- 3. the halfway distance between the crest and trough in a transverse wave
- 4. the angle of the incoming wave equals the angle of the out going wave
- 5. the number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
- 7. the distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point moving at the same speed in the same direction
- 10. a compressional wave produced by something vibrating
- 11. when you squeeze spring coils together and release them, you create this kind of wave
- 12. these are light waves, radio waves or x-rays
- 13. something all waves are produced by
- 14. a disturbance that carries energy from place to place without transporting matter
Down
- 1. the highest point on a transverse wave
- 2. this is the bending of waves around an object
- 6. this kind of wave causes particles to move back & forth at a right angle in the direction of the wave
- 8. the lowest point on a transverse wave
- 9. this is the change in direction of a wave when it changes speed as it travels from one material to another
