Across
- 2. the regions of the longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together
- 3. the regions of the longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart
- 6. a wave that can travel through,solids,liquids, and gases
- 7. is the maximum distance that the wave moves from its rest position
- 9. the highest points on a transverse wave
- 11. the lowest points on a transverse wave
- 12. the bouncing of a wave off a surface
- 13. occurs when waves that overlap combine forming a new wave
- 15. is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
- 16. is the change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge of an object or through an opening
- 17. the number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
- 18. the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
Down
- 1. makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave travels
- 4. a wave that can travel through empty space and through matter
- 5. is the change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to another
- 7. is the transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels
- 8. a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels
- 10. when a wave is reflected from a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
- 14. is the passage of light through an object
