Across
- 7. interference in which individual displacements on the same side of the equilibrium position are added together to form the resultant wave (460)
- 9. distance between two adjacent similar points of the wave, such as from crest to crest or from trough to trough (454)
- 10. point in a standing wave, halfway between two nodes, at which the largest amplitude occurs (463)
- 12. wave pattern that results when two waves of the same frequency, wavelength, and amplitude travel in opposite directions and interfere
- 16. interference in which individual displacements on opposite sides of the equilibrium position are added together to form the resultant wave (461)
- 17. wave that propagates through a deformable, elastic medium
- 18. a point in a standing wave that always undergoes complete destructive interference and therefore is stationary (463)
Down
- 1. a single nonperiodic disturbance (453)
- 2. number of cycles or vibrations per unit of time (446)
- 3. maximum displacement from equilibrium (446)
- 4. highest point above the equilibrium position (454)
- 5. vibration about an equilibrium position in which a restoring force is proportional to the displacement from equilibrium (439)
- 6. lowest point below the equilibrium position (454)
- 8. wave whose particles vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion (455)
- 11. the material through which a disturbance travels (452)
- 13. wave whose particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave motion (454)
- 14. wave whose source is some form of periodic motion (453)
- 15. the time it takes to execute a complete cycle of motion (446)
