Across
1
The bending of waves around the edge of a barrier
3
a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
4
the maximum distance the particles of the medium, that carries the wave, move away from their rest positions.
6
The waves produced by earthquakes
8
A wave or vibration that occurs every second has a frequency of 1 _______.
9
the angle between the incoming wave and the imaginary perpendicular line.
11
The parts where the wave is close together
12
a repeated back and forth or up and down motion
13
The material through which a wave travels
15
occurs when two waves combine to make a wave with larger amplitude.
17
The lowest part of a wave
18
The parts where the wave is spread out
20
The points on the standing wave where the amplitude is not zero
21
The highest part of a wave
22
the angle between the reflected wave and the imaginary line.
24
The bending of waves due to a change in speed
25
the number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
Down
1
When the amplitudes of two waves combine to produce smaller amplitude the result is called ______________.
2
combinations of transverse and longitudinal waves.
5
The interaction between 2 waves
7
a wave that moves the particles of the medium parallel to the direction that the waves are traveling.
10
When an object or wave hits a surface through which it cannot pass, it bounces back.
14
Transverse seismic waves
16
Earthquakes that occur underwater can cause huge surface waves on the ocean
19
when vibrations traveling through an object match the object’s natural frequency.
23
At certain points, destructive interference causes the two waves to combine to produce amplitude of zero – these points are called ________.
