Wave Properties

3. The lowest points on a transverse wave
5. The regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together
6. The highest points on a transverse wave
7. A material in which a wave travels
9. The maximum distance that the wave moves from its rest position
11. The change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge of an object or through an opening
12. A wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels
14. A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
15. The passage of light through an object
16. The number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
18. The change in direction of that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to another
19. The transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels
20. The distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave

1. A wave that can travel through empty space and through matter
2. A wave that can travel through only matter
4. A wave that makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave travels
8. Occurs when waves that overlap combine, forming a new wave
10. When a wave is reflected from a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
13. The regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart
17. The bouncing of a wave of a surface
