Across
- 4. the maximum displacement of any point from its undisturbed position
- 6. the distance between two adjacent points on a wave oscillating in step with each other
- 7. the number of oscillations per unit time of a point in a wave
- 9. a repeated disturbance that spreads out and transfers energy as it moves forwards
- 10. the distance of a point on the wave from its undisturbed position, or equilibrium position
- 12. one where the particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel (and energy transfer)
Down
- 1. wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium
- 2. tells us how much a point or a wave is in front or behind another
- 3. When the crests or troughs are aligned, the waves are in…
- 5. one where the particles oscillate parallel to the direction of the wave travel (and energy transfer)
- 8. distance travelled by the wave per unit time
- 11. the time taken for one complete oscillation of a point in a wave
