Across
- 2. the repeated back-and-forth motion of a particle when displaced from its equilibrium position. Due to its oscillatory property, it exhibits a periodic or repetitive motion.
- 3. The part of a wave with the least magnitude; the lowest part of a wave
- 7. a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media
- 8. waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field
- 9. A propagating dynamic disturbance of one or more quantities.
- 10. a measurement of the amount of energy transferred by a wave
- 11. A crest is a point on a surface wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum
Down
- 1. waves in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels and displacement of the medium is in the same direction of the wave propagation.
- 2. the speed in combination with the direction of motion of an object
- 3. a wave that oscillates perpendicularly to the direction of the wave's advance
- 4. a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a material medium
- 5. the distance between consecutive corresponding points of the same phase on the wave, such as two adjacent crests, troughs, or zero crossings.
- 6. the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time (more specifically the number of waves that pass a certain point in one second)
