What about reading the doc?

validate
Quote:
Purpose

To examine a backup set and report whether it can be restored. RMAN scans all of the backup pieces in the specified backup sets and looks at the checksums to verify that the contents are intact so that the backup can be successfully restored if necessary.


crosscheck
Quote:
Purpose

To verify the status of backups and copies recorded in the RMAN repository against media such as disk or tape. The CROSSCHECK command only processes files created on the same device type as the channels running the crosscheck.

Regards
Michel
