Across
- 2. a wave that moves a medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels
- 3. a type of wave where the medium waves at right angles to the direction the wave is traveling
- 4. the ability of two or more waves to combine to form a new wave
- 8. a wave that requires a medium through which to travel
- 10. the bending of waves, caused by changing their speed
- 11. in compressional waves, the less dense area of the wave
- 12. in a wave is the distance from the rest position of the medium to either the crest or trough
- 13. the distance between identical points on two adjacent waves; for example, the distance between two crests
Down
- 1. the bending of waves around a barrier
- 5. The number of wave crests that pass a point during one second, expressed in hertz
- 6. the highest point of a wave
- 7. the lowest point of a wave
- 8. a material through a wave travels
- 9. in compressional waves, the dense area of the wave
