Across
- 4. the distance between the line of equilibrium and the highest or lowest point of a wave
- 6. the distance between two crests or two troughs
- 7. the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening
- 9. material through which a wave transfers energy
- 11. the interaction of two or more waves that combine in a region of overlap
- 12. waves medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction of the wave
- 14. interference combines the energies of two waves interacting into a greater amplitude
- 17. wave medium moves in the same direction as the wave's motion
- 18. region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together
- 19. bending of waves when passing from one medium to another
Down
- 1. when a wave strikes an object and bounces off
- 2. the highest point of a wave (above the line of equilibrium)
- 3. waves waves that must travel through a medium
- 5. a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are furthest apart
- 8. number of waves passing a point in one second
- 10. waves waves that do not require a medium
- 13. interference reduces the energies of two waves interacting into a smaller amplitude
- 15. effect a change in wave frequency caused by movement of sound source, motion of the listener, or both
- 16. rhythmic disturbances that carry energy through matter or space
- 20. the lowest point of a wave (below the line of equilibrium)
