  9. 19. A wave that moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels (side to side)
  10. 20. the height of a wave's crest or trough
  11. 21. The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.
  12. 23. Allowing light to pass through, light scattered, some absorbed
  13. 25. electromagnetic waves with wavelengths shorter than ultraviolet rays, but longer than gamma rays
  14. 26. light electromagnetic waves that are visible to the human eye
  15. 29. Allowing light to pass through
Down
  1. 2. the process of using reflected sound waves to find objects; used by animals such as bats
  2. 3. A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels (back and forth)
  3. 5. The distance between two corresponding crests or troughs
  4. 6. can pass through solids, liquids, gases
  5. 9. Electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies
  6. 11. light turned into heat energy when interacting with a material
  7. 15. Highest point of a wave
  8. 16. Electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies
