Wave Properties

2. A wave that can travel only through matter.
5. The highest points on a transverse wave
7. The passage of light through an object
10. The change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to another
12. A wave that can travel through empty space and through matter
17. The lowest points on a transverse wave
18. When a wave is reflected from a surface the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
19. Makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave travels

1. The regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart
3. is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.
4. The regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together
6. A wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels
8. A wave is the number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
9. A material in which a wave travels
11. The change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge of an object or through an opening.
13. The bouncing of a wave off a surface
14. A wave is the maximum distance that the wave moves from its rest position
15. The transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels
16. A wave is the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
