Part 1: Crossword Puzzle Clues Across
The bending of a wave as it passes from one medium into another due to a change in speed. The highest point of a transverse wave. The lowest point of a transverse wave. The bending of waves around obstacles or through openings. A wave in which particles move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels (e.g., light waves). The maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position; related to wave energy. The number of complete waves that pass a point per second; measured in Hertz (Hz). A wave that requires a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through. The answer key for the Nature, Properties, and
Down
The distance between two corresponding points on consecutive waves (e.g., crest to crest). The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a barrier or a different medium. A wave in which particles move parallel to the direction the wave travels (e.g., sound waves). The combination of two or more waves overlapping in the same space; can be constructive or destructive. The time required for one full wave to pass a point; the reciprocal of frequency. A wave that can travel through a vacuum (e.g., light, radio waves). The material through which a mechanical wave travels.
