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