Across
- 2. A wave pattern that oscillates in time but does not move in space, appearing to stand still
- 5. A mechanical wave where particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of energy
- 7. A type of wave where the displacement of the medium or field is perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation
- 10. The maximum of a vibration measured from the position of equilibrium
- 12. The substance or material - solid, liquid, or gas - through which a wave travels
- 13. The movement, transmission, or spreading of waves through a medium or across space
- 14. The highest point of a wave/the peak
- 15. The number of complete cycles, waves, or oscillations that occur in a set amount of time
- 16. 2 or more waves of the same frequency and phase overlap to produce a new wave
Down
- 1. Transfers energy without transporting energy
- 3. 2 or more waves of the same frequency and amplitude meet while out of phase, cancelling each other out
- 4. The lowest point of a wave/the ditch
- 6. The repetitive back and forth motion or fluctuation of a system
- 8. The spatial period of a wave defined as the distance between consecutive corresponding points of the same phase
- 9. The time taken for a complete cycle to occur
- 11. When an object oscillates back and forth around an equilibrium position
