Energy and Waves Crossword Puzzle
QUESTIONS LIST: electromagnetic : transfer of energy in a vacuum or in any medium, crest : point on a transverse wave where the displacement is at its maximum, mechanical : transfer of energy which requires a medium, wave : temporary disturbance that moves through matter and carries energy, speed : distance traveled by a wave per unit of time, wavelength : distance between any two successive points in a wave, usually measured in meters, amplitude : the height of a wave, which translates to how much energy is in that wave, energy : ability to do work, longitudinal : transfer of energy in a wave that is parallel to the direction the wave is traveling, hertz : unit used to express frequency, compression : region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together, rarefaction : region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart, oscillation : another term for vibration, period : time it takes to for one complete cycle of the wave to pass a certain point, usually measured in seconds, trough : point on a transverse wave where the displacement is at its minimum, vibration : rapid back-and-forth motion created from energy inside of matter, medium : the substance or material through which energy in the form of a wave moves, transverse : transfer of energy in a wave that is perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling, frequency : number of waves that pass through a certain point.
