Across
- 2. wave
- 3. the bouncing back of a wave when it reaches a new surface or boundary.
- 5. the highest point on a wave
- 6. the lowest point on a wave
- 8. wave Waves that travel perpendicular to the particles of a medium
- 10. wave
- 12. the number of waves that pass per second
- 15. wave waves that can travel through empty space
- 17. the environment through which a wave travels
- 18. effect waves are unaffected by the speed of the source that produces them
Down
- 1. distance from crest to crest
- 4. interference occurs when opposite parts of waves align--a crest lines up with a trough; results in a wave with a smaller amplitude
- 7. interference occurs when identical parts of waves align--a crest lines up with a crest; results in a wave with a larger amplitude
- 9. the bending of a wave around a boundary or obstacle
- 11. waves waves that require a medium through which to travel
- 13. the bending of a wave that is caused when it passes into a new medium which causes the speed of the wave to change
- 14. wave waves that travel parallel to the particles of the medium
- 16. distance from the crest to the resting point
- 19. time it takes for one complete wave to pass
