Waves Word Search Glossary
Quick definitions of the terms used in the Waves Word Search.
Acoustics: The study of sound waves.
Amplitude: The measure of the displacement of the wave from its rest position.
Coherent: Two or more waves with the same frequency and phase difference.
Crest: Maximum value of a wave’s amplitude.
Diffraction: Behavior of a wave after encountering a gap or obstacle.
Electromagnetic: Self-propagating waves composed of oscillating electric and magnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate.
Frequency: Frequency is the measure of how many complete waves occur in a specified period of time. The most common measurement of frequency is cycles (or waves) per second.
Hertz: The SI unit of frequency. 1 Hertz (Hz) = 1 cycle/second.
Intensity: The measurement of the amount of wave energy over time (power) per unit area.
Interference: Resulting wave when one wave meets another wave.
Longitudinal: Longitudinal waves are waves where the disturbance of the wave moves in the same direction as the wave. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
Mechanical: Mechanical waves are waves which require a medium to exist. Mechanical waves cannot travel in a vacuum.
Medium: Matter in which waves move through.
Optics: Study of the behavior of light and vision.
Period: The amount of time necessary to complete one complete wave. The period is the inverse of frequency.
Phase: Phase is an instantaneous point in time of a wave cycle. Phase also refers to the relative difference in corresponding points of between two waves with the same frequency. This definition usually refers to the phase difference between two waves
Polarization: Polarization refers to the direction a wave oscillates.
Propagation: The method waves travel through space.
Pulse: A pulse is a non-periodic wave with at least one major crest.
Reflection: The change in direction of a wave when encountering a barrier without leaving the medium.
Refraction: The change in direction of a wave caused by the wave passing from one medium to another.
Resonance: The increase in amplitude caused when one wave oscillates at a frequency very close to the same frequency of another wave or vibrating substance.
Sinusoidal: The name of the mathematical curve describing a smooth periodic oscillation.
Speed: The speed at which a wave travels. The speed of a wave is calculated by the wavelength multiplied by the frequency of the wave.
Standing: A standing wave is a wave where the position of the wave does not change.
Surface: A surface wave is a wave which behaves like both a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave.
Transverse: A transverse wave is a wave where the vibration motion is perpendicular to the wave’s direction of motion.
Trough: The lowest point of a wave’s displacement.
Wavelength: The distance from one point of a wave to the same point in the next wave.
Wavenumber: The number of wavelengths per unit distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a crossword?
Crossword puzzles have been published in newspapers and other publications since 1873. They consist of a grid of squares where the player aims to write words both horizontally and vertically.
Next to the crossword will be a series of questions or clues, which relate to the various rows or lines of boxes in the crossword. The player reads the question or clue, and tries to find a word that answers the question in the same amount of letters as there are boxes in the related crossword row or line.
Some of the words will share letters, so will need to match up with each other. The words can vary in length and complexity, as can the clues.
Who is a crossword suitable for?
The fantastic thing about crosswords is, they are completely flexible for whatever age or reading level you need. You can use many words to create a complex crossword for adults, or just a couple of words for younger children.
Crosswords can use any word you like, big or small, so there are literally countless combinations that you can create for templates. It is easy to customise the template to the age or learning level of your students.

Are crosswords good for students?
Crosswords are a great exercise for students’ problem solving and cognitive abilities. Not only do they need to solve a clue and think of the correct answer, but they also have to consider all of the other words in the crossword to make sure the words fit together.
If this is your first time using a crossword with your students, you could create a crossword FAQ template for them to give them the basic instructions.
