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