Across
- 3. The highest point on a transverse wave
- 6. A repeating disturbance that transfers energy as it travels through matter or space
- 8. Type of wave that needs matter in order to travel
- 9. Denser region of a longitudinal wave
- 10. The less dense region of a longitudinal wave
- 11. The lowest point on a transverse wave
- 13. The number of waves that pass a fixed point each second. It is measured in Hertz (Hz).
Down
- 1. Type of wave in which the matter moves back and forth along the direction of the wave; has compressions and rarefactions
- 2. The distance between two identical adjacent points on a wave
- 4. Type of wave in which the matter in the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave; has crests and troughs
- 5. Matter through which a wave travels
- 7. A measure of the size of the disturbance of a wave.
- 12. The amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a fixed point. It is expressed in seconds.
