Across
  1. 2. The low point on a transverse wave.
  2. 4. Shortest distance between points where the wave pattern repeats itself.
  3. 7. High point on a transverse wave.
  4. 8. A wave disturbance that continues at a constant rate.
  5. 11. A wave disturbance that is parallel to the direction of the waves travel.
  6. 15. Change in the direction of waves at the boundary between two different mediums.
  7. 16. Time needed for an object to repeat one complete cycle of the motion.
  8. 17. Maximum distance the object moves from the equilibrium position.
  9. 18. A wave that disturbs the particles in the medium perpendicular to the direction of the waves travel.
  10. 19. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
Down
  1. 1. A wave that appears to be standing still.
  2. 3. Magnitude of the force exerted by a spring is equal to the spring constant times the distance the spring is stretched or compressed from its equilibrium position.
  3. 4. A single bump or disturbance that travels through a medium.
  4. 5. Motions that repeat in regular cycles.
  5. 6. A disturbance that carries energy through matter or space without transferring matter.
  6. 9. Pulse that strikes the boundary.
  7. 10. When forces are applied to a vibrating or oscillating object at time intervals equal to the period of oscillation.
  8. 12. Result of the superposition of two or more waves.
  9. 13. A line that represents the crest of a wave in two dimensions.
  10. 14. Number of complete oscillations a point on that wave makes each second.
