Across
- 4. a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimum amplitude
- 8. a type of interference that occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction.
- 10. wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
- 12. the reduction of an item's density, the opposite of compression
- 16. When two waves of identical wavelength are in phase, they form a new wave with an amplitude equal to the sum of their individual amplitudes
Down
- 1. the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave
- 2. the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium
- 3. wave that oscillates in time but whose peak amplitude profile does not move in space
- 5. the point on the medium that exhibits the maximum amount of negative or downward displacement from the rest position.
- 6. the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle.
- 7. substance or material that carries the wave.
- 9. a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
- 11. the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time.
- 13. the position of maximum displacement in a standing wave system.
- 14. the application of balanced inward forces to different points on a material or structure
- 15. point on a wave is the maximum value of upward displacement within a cycle
