Across
- 2. time required for one wave to pass
- 5. a disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another
- 6. the bending of a wave as it enters a new medium at an angle
- 7. the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow
- 8. the interaction of two or more waves that combine in a region of overlap
- 10. an area of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together
- 12. a wave that causes the medium to vibrate at right angles to the direction in which
- 16. the highest point of a transverse wave
- 17. the maximum height of a wave
- 18. the interaction that occurs when a wave bounces off a surface that it cannot pass through
- 20. the distance between a point on a wave and the same point on the next wave
Down
- 1. wave travels
- 2. any motion that repeats at regular time intervals
- 3. a material through which a wave travels
- 4. a wave in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave
- 9. interference: the interaction between two or more waves in which displacements
- 11. the number of complete waves that pass per second
- 13. an area of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are spread out
- 14. a wave that travels along a surface separating two media
- 15. to produce a wave with a larger displacement
- 19. unit used to measure frequency of a wave
- 21. the lowest point of a transverse wave
