Across
- 3. waves that can only travel through a medium
- 5. the bending of waves caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium through another
- 8. a rhythmic disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space
- 10. lowest points of a transverse wave
- 13. angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection
- 14. special type of wave pattern that forms when waves equal in wavelength and amplitude but traveling in opposite directions continuously interfere with each other
- 16. when two or more waves combine to form a new wave
- 17. how fast the wave travels
- 18. when two or more waves subtract from one another when they overlap
- 19. matter in the medium moves back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling
- 21. when two or more waves add together
- 22. when a wave strikes an object and bounces off of it
- 23. wave that strikes the surface
- 26. when a wave strikes an object an goes into it
- 27. the number of waves that pass a given point in one second
Down
- 1. where particles are spread apart in a longitudinal wave
- 2. the amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point
- 4. matter through which a wave travels through can be solid liquid or gas
- 6. where the waves cancel out
- 7. travel fastest through a vacuum and slowest through solids
- 9. matter in the medium moves back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave is traveling
- 11. the distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it
- 12. where particles are pushed together in a longitudinal wave
- 15. when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it
- 20. wave that bounces off of surface
- 24. the amount of energy carried by a wave
- 25. highest points of a transverse wave
