Waves

3. One of the places in a wave where the wave is highest or the disturbance is greatest.
5. The number or crests that pass a particular point per unit time.
6. A wave in which individual particles of a medium vibrate back and forth along (parallel to) the direction in which the wave travels.
10. A wave with vibrations at right angles (perpendicular) to the direction the wave is traveling.
11. The spreading or extension of a wave.
13. The unit for frequency.
15. More than one wave occupies the same space at the same time; the displacements add at every point.
16. The symbol used for wavelength (written out as a word).

1. A wave’s peak-to-peak, or trough-to-trough.
2. The stationary wave pattern formed in a medium when two sets of identical waves pass through the medium in opposite directions.
4. The middle of a wave vertical axis; used to show the amplitude.
7. The maximum displacement on either side of the equilibrium position.
8. The unit for wavelength.
9. The distance between successive crests, troughs, or identical parts of a wave.
12. The amount of time required to complete a cycle.
14. The lowest part of a wave.
