Across
  1. 1. Three colors of light that can be combined to create millions of other colors of light
  2. 7. Disturbances in matter that carry energy from place to another
  3. 8. The lowest points of a transverse wave
  4. 10. The interaction between two or more waves in which displacements combine to produce a smaller wave
  5. 12. The bending of a wave as it enters a new medium at an angle
  6. 14. An area of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together
  7. 15. A description of a material that allows most of the light that strikes it to pass through
  8. 17. Waves that cause a medium to vibrate at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels
  9. 18. The change in sound frequency caused by motion of the sound source, motion of the listener or both
  10. 20. The number of complete cycles per unit time for a periodic motion
  11. 21. A material that selectively absorbs certain colors of light and reflects others
  12. 22. The distance between the point on a wave and the same point on the next cycle of the wave
  13. 23. The frequency of a sound as a listener perceives it
  14. 24. Waves in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels
Down
  1. 2. The response of a standing wave to another wave of the same frequency, creating an increase in amplitude
  2. 3. The interaction between two or more waves in which displacements combine to produce a larger wave
  3. 4. The maximum displacement of a medium from the rest position
  4. 5. A description of a material that either absorbs or reflects all light so that nothing can be seen through it
  5. 6. The full range of electromagnetic radiation
  6. 9. The highest points of a transverse wave
  7. 11. The unit of measure for frequency equal to one cycle per second

  9. 16. A new color that is created when any two of the primary colors are combined
  10. 19. The interaction that occurs when a wave bounces off a surface that it can't pass through
  11. 23. The time required for one complete cycle of a periodic motion
