Across
- 8. a substance or material that carries the wave
- 9. of equilibrium, when an object is experiencing a balance of forces
- 11. the maximum displacement of the mass above or below the resting position
- 12. a wave that is capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum (empty space), electromagnetic waves are ALWAYS transverse
- 13. the force that slows an object down as it moves away from its equilibrium (resting) position)
- 15. the tendency of a vibrating object to lose its energy over time
- 16. the minimum distance between two points which are in a phase
- 17. the time for one full cycle to be completed
- 18. the repeating and periodic disturbance that moves through a medium from one location to another; a wiggle in both space and time; caused by vibrations
- 19. the lowest point of a wave
- 20. a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum, has to go through a medium, includes longitudinal & transverse waves
Down
- 1. a motion that is regular and repeating
- 2. when a force causes an object to vibrate
- 3. a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves
- 4. the highest point on a wave
- 5. the number of complete cycles occurring per period of time
- 6. occurs when a vibration repeats and is converted without any additional energy
- 7. a single disturbance moving through a medium from one location to another
- 10. a wave in which particles of the medium move in a perpendicular direction to the direction of the wave, can be mechanical and non-mechanical
- 14. the resting position of an object
