Across
- 1. Waves that do not require a physical medium to travel through, such as a light wave
- 5. The type of wave in which particles travel perpendicularly to the wave
- 6. Waves that have a repeating pattern
- 10. The bending of waves because of a change of speed when they enter a new medium
- 13. The type of waves that are disturbances in physical matter
- 14. The type of wave in which particles travel parallel to the wave
- 16. The ____ of the wave is calculated by multiplying the wavelength in meters by the frequency in hertz
- 18. When waves bounce off of a surface
- 19. _____ is transferred when the wave disturbs the medium
Down
- 1. A point where particles are farthest apart in a longitudinal wave
- 2. The lowest point of the wave
- 3. The distance between 2 waves (peak to peak or valley to valley)
- 4. The bending of waves around an object, the amount of which depends on the size of the obstacle and the size of the waves
- 7. The highest point of a wave
- 8. The point where particles are closest together in a longitudinal wave
- 9. The distance from the starting point to a peak (crest) or valley (trough)
- 11. The number of cycles or vibrations in 1 second
- 12. Time that it takes to complete a full wave
- 15. One _____ is equal to one cycle per second
- 17. An object's repeated back and forth movement past its own starting position
