Across
- 2. The maximum displacement of a wave from its undisturbed (equilibrium) position
- 4. A surface that does not allow any light to pass through it
- 5. A reflected sound wave
- 7. A process of energy transfer through oscillations, without matter being transferred with it
- 8. (Hz) The unit of frequency
- 10. Waves with oscillations that are parallel to the direction of travel/energy transfer
- 12. The changing of speed, and consequently the direction, of a wave as it changes medium
- 13. A surface that allows all or most of the light to pass through it
- 14. The distance from a point on one wave to the same point on the adjacent wave (i.e., peak to peak or trough to trough)
Down
- 1. The number of waves passing a given point in a second. It is the inverse of the wave's time period
- 2. When a wave is not reflected, or does not pass through a surface
- 3. The time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point. It is the inverse of frequency
- 6. The bouncing back of a wave at a boundary
- 9. The velocity at which energy is transferred through the medium. It is equal to the product of the wave's wavelength and frequency
- 11. Waves with oscillations that are perpendicular to the direction of travel/energy transfer
