Across
- 4. for a transverse wave, one half the distance between and a trough
- 5. mechanical wave that causes particles in matter to move at right angles to the direction the wave travels
- 8. waves that have to travel through a medium (matter that a wave travels through)
- 10. SI unit for frequency
Down
- 1. waves that can travel through matter or empty space, includes radio waves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultra violet waves, x rays, and gamma rays
- 2. mechanical causes the particles to move back and forward along the direction the wave travels
- 3. number of wavelengths that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz
- 6. distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point moving with the same speed and direction
- 7. disturbance that moves through matter and space and carries energy
- 9. wavelength x frequency
