Across
- 2. the bouncing of a wave off a surface
- 4. Makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave travels
- 7. The regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together
- 10. The number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
- 11. The highest points on a transverse wave
- 14. A wave that can travel only through matter
- 16. the change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to another
- 17. The change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge of an object or through an opening
- 19. the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
- 20. a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
Down
- 1. a wave that can travel through empty space and through matter
- 3. A wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
- 5. when a wave is reflected from a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
- 6. the transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels
- 8. A material in which a wave travels
- 9. When waves that overlap combine forming a new wave.
- 12. the passage of light through an object
- 13. The maximum distance that moves from its rest position
- 15. The lowest points on a transverse wave
- 18. The regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart
