Across
- 4. a material in which a wave travels
- 5. the distance from one wave point to another
- 6. makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave travels.
- 7. Change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge of an object or through an opening
- 10. The passage of light through an object
- 13. The region of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together
- 14. The region of a longitudinal wave where particles are farthest apart
- 15. A wave that can travel only through matter
- 17. The number of wavelengths by a point each second
- 19. The bouncing of a wave off an object
- 20. A wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
Down
- 1. The lowest point in a transverse wave
- 2. A wave that can travel through empty space and matter
- 3. the change in a direction of a wave that occurs when the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to the other
- 8. the transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels
- 9. a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.
- 11. occurs when waves that overlap combine, forming a new wave
- 12. When a wave is reflected from a surface the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
- 16. The maximum distance that the wave moves from its rest position
- 18. The highest point on a transverse wave
