Across
- 3. when an object moves back and forth in a repeated motion
- 5. the time taken for a complete wave to pass a point
- 7. how many waves or oscillations per second
- 12. region of a sound wave or wave on longitudinal slinky where the particles (or slinks) are very close together
- 13. a type of wave in which the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of travel (direction of energy transfer)
- 15. a measure of the frequency of a sound, described as high or low
- 16. a type of wave in which the oscillations are parallel to the direction of travel (direction of energy transfer)
- 17. transmits energy but not matter, sound and light are examples of this
- 19. to allow energy (from waves) to pass through
- 21. the size of a wave, on a graph this is the distance from a peak to the middle of the wave or half the distance between a peak and a trough
Down
- 1. unit for loudness in sound
- 2. region of a sound wave or wave on a longitudinal slinky where the particles (or slinks) are very far apart
- 4. to take in energy (from waves), usually energy turns into heat (thermal)
- 6. when an object moves back and forth in a repeated motion
- 8. when a wave returns in the direction that it came from after hitting an object (the energy travels in the opposite direction)
- 9. the unit of frequency
- 10. a device that creates sound waves of particular shapes depending on how it is operated
- 11. the distance between two peaks, two troughs or two compressions on a wave
- 14. the perceived energy of a sound wave, a measure of the amplitude of the wave measured in decibels
- 18. a type of longitudinal wave characteristized by particles pa
- 20. distance / time. In terms of waves it is how far a wave travels in a unit time (usually metres per second)
