Across
- 2. the highest part of a transverse wave
- 5. the maximum displacement of a crest or a trough
- 7. motion of particles is parallel to direction of wave motion
- 8. disturbance
- 9. mechanical waves need this
- 10. the portion of a longitudinal wave where particles are close together
- 12. the number of waves per second
- 17. the portion of a longitudinal wave where particles are spread apart
- 18. motion of particles is perpendicular to direction of wave motion
- 21. higher amplitude means ..... energy
- 22. the unit for frequency
- 23. an example of transverse waves
Down
- 1. mechanical waves cannot travel in this
- 3. how fast a wave moves
- 4. waves that do not require a medium
- 6. this affects the speed at which waves travel
- 11. can be used to generate longitudinal waves
- 13. can be used to generate transverse waves
- 14. the distance from one point of a wave to another point just like it
- 15. wave does not transfer this
- 16. the lowest part of a transverse wave
- 19. needed to start a mechanical wave
- 20. wave transfers this
