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