Across
  1. 1. (Longitudinal wave) A measure of how densely packed the partials are in a compression
  2. 6. Bottom part of a wave, of one wave to the trough of the very next wave trough
  3. 7. (Longitudinal wave) The number of compression that goes by in 1 second
  4. 8. wave A wave caused by particles vibrating in the same direction as the wave is traveling
  5. 11. Top part of a wave, of one wave to the crest of the very next wave crest.
  6. 13. The line across the wave
  7. 15. wave May it may not have matter to travel
  8. 16. Where the wave medium is crowded
  9. 17. (transverse wave) A measure of the distance between a line through the middle of the wave and its crest
  10. 18. wave Needs matter to travel
Down
  1. 2. A substance through which a wave can transfer its energy
  2. 3. (transverse wave) The measure of the distance from the crest to the next crest
  3. 4. Lines that meet at some point
  4. 5. Where the wave medium is spread out
  5. 9. wave They are waves in which the partials of the medium move at an angle of 90 degrees to the waves direction of travel
  6. 10. (transverse wave) A measure of how many waves pass a point in a certain amount of time
  7. 12. (Longitudinal wave) The distance between compression or between rarefactions
