  1. 6. When two waves of identical wavelength are in phase, they form a new wave with an amplitude equal to the sum of their individual amplitudes
  2. 10. the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave
  3. 11. makes possible the transfer of energy from one location to another, especially through waves
  4. 12. the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position
Down
  1. 1. occurs when the maxima of two waves are 180
