  1. 2. Change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed
  2. 4. Waves where the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as the direction of the travel of the wave
  3. 10. Maxima of 2 waves are 180 degrees out of phase
  4. 12. Radiation that has both electric and magnetic fields and travels in waves
  5. 13. Spreading of waves around obstacles
  6. 14. Distance between identical points in the adjacent cycles of a waveform signal propagated in space or along a wire
  7. 15. Any material substance which can propagate waves or energy
Down
  1. 1. Range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation and their wavelengths
  2. 3. Motion in which all point on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance
  3. 5. Maxima of 2 waves add together so that the amplitude of the resulting wave is equal to the sum of the individual amplitudes
  4. 6. Change in direction of a wavefront between two different media, bouncing the wavefront back into the original medium
  5. 7. Distance a wave travels in a given amount of time
  6. 8. Apparent differences between the frequency at which sound or light waves leave a source and reach an observer
  7. 9. Maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position
  8. 11. Number of waves that passed a fixed point in a given amount of time
