Waves and Sound

2. This sound has a large amplitude
7. The time it takes for one wave to occur
9. The unit used to measure loudness
13. A wave that vibrates parallel to the direction of the wave’s motion
14. When two waves of equal amplitude and wavelength pass through each other in opposite directions
17. How high or low a sound seems
20. The number of waves it takes to pass in a given amount of time
21. The highest point on a transverse wave
23. When the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another
24. When the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another
25. Traveling at the speed of sound

1. Sound travels the fastest in this medium
3. This sound has a short wavelength
4. A wave that vibrates perpendicular to the direction of the wave’s motion
5. The bending of waves around boundaries or through openings
6. The matter a wave travels through
8. A change in sound pitch caused by the motion of the sound source, the listener, or both
10. The distance from crest to crest
11. Sound travels the slowest in this medium
12. The rate at which a wave’s energy flows through an area
13. This sound has a long wavelength
15. The distance from the equilibrium to the crest
16. A rhythmic disturbance that carries energy through matter or space
18. This sound has a small amplitude
19. This occurs when an object breaks the sound barrier
22. The lowest point on a transverse wave
