Across
- 3. / a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
- 4. / the lowest points on a transverse wave
- 5. / a material in which a wave travels
- 11. / a wave tat can travel through empty space and through matter
- 13. / the highest points on a transverse wave
- 14. / the change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge of an object or through an opening
- 15. / occurs when waves that overlap combine, forming a new wave
- 17. / the number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
- 18. / the maximum distance that the wave moves from its rest position
- 19. / a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels
Down
- 1. / when a wave reflected from a surface, the angel of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
- 2. / a wave that can travel only through matter
- 3. / the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
- 6. / the bouncing of a wave off a surface
- 7. / the regions on a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart
- 8. / makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave travels
- 9. / the transfer of energy by a wave to the medium though which it travels
- 10. / the regions on a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together
- 12. / the passage of light through an object
- 16. / the change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to another
