Across
- 2. When a wave (like light) travels through a medium.
- 3. The height of a wave, measured from its resting point to the crest or trough.
- 6. The repeated back-and-forth movement of an atom.
- 9. Waves Waves that travel through the Earth, causing vibrations, like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions
- 10. The highest point of a wave
- 12. How many complete waves pass a specific point in one second.
- 16. The process where a wave's energy is transferred to a material and converted into another form, such as heat, rather than being reflected or transmitted.
- 18. A substance that can transmit energy. May include air, water, glass, and metal.
- 19. The process where a wave changes direction when it encounters an obstacle or irregularity in the medium it's traveling through.
- 21. When a wave bounces back after hitting a boundary or surface.
- 23. A type of wave where the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels.
Down
- 1. A space that is almost completely devoid of matter, specifically air or other gases.
- 2. Waves a wave where the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
- 4. The highest point or peak of the wave
- 5. The part of a wave where molecules are spread out.
- 7. Something allows some light to pass through, but not enough for you to see clearly through it.
- 8. Light the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see.
- 11. Allows light to pass through it
- 13. The spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects
- 14. How high or low a sound is, determined by its frequency.
- 15. Waves vibrations that travel through a medium like air, water, or solids, transmitting energy from one place to another.
- 17. The distance between two corresponding points on consecutive waves.
- 20. The lowest point on a wave or a depression between higher points.
- 22. Wave a form of electromagnetic radiation that carry energy, defined by such properties as reflection, refraction, and dispersion.
