Waves
Across
- 3. a relationship between the path taken by a ray of light in crossing the boundary or surface separation between the two contacting substances and the refractive index of each
- 5. the angle of light reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
- 6. wave oscillations have a definite direction relative to the direction of propagation
- 8. the angle of the light falling onto a surface
- 10. the distance covered by a full cycle
- 11. when two waves of identical wavelength are in phase they form a new wavelength with an amplitude equal to the sum of their individual amplitudes
- 13. a segment of one cycle of a longitudinal wave during its travel or motion
- 15. a wave where energy is transferred through matter
- 18. a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimum amplitude
- 19. a disturbance of the medium that propagates through it in a definite direction with a definite velocity
- 25. describes the changes in frequency of any kind of sound or light wave produced by a moving source with respect to an observer
- 26. the combination of two waves going opposite directions with same amplitude and frequency
- 28. an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies
- 29. light that has the same wavelength so it is one color
- 31. the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time
- 32. a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together
- 37. the color spectrum of frequencies
- 41. a value calculated from the ration of the speed of light in a vacuum to that in a second medium of greater density
- 42. when an object is vibrating at the same frequency of a second object and forces that second object into vibrational motion
- 43. how high or low a sound is
Down
- 1. the maximum distance moved by a point on a wave from rest position
- 2. when two or more waves overlap in space then the resultant disturbance is equal to the algebraic sum of the individual disturbances
- 4. the reflected ray and the normal to the surface of the mirror all lie in the same plane
- 7. the point on a wave with the greatest positive value in a cycle
- 9. a positive displacement of one wave is cancelled exactly by a negatively displacement of the other wave
- 12. a ray of light falling onto the surface separating two mediums
- 14. motion where all points of a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the waves advance
- 16. a wave in which particles of a medium vibrate in the direction of a line of advance of the wave
- 17. the change in direction of a wave when the wave passes from one medium into another
- 20. reflection of light that is scattered into many different angles
- 21. a region of a maximum amplitude situated between adjacent nodes in a vibrating body
- 22. the point of time during the wave
- 23. a logical conclusion
- 24. wave a wave with a continuous pattern which determines its wavelength and frequency
- 27. time it takes to finish one motion
- 30. a form of energy that is thrown back from a nonabsorbent surface
- 33. the way the wave travels
- 34. angle measured from the reflected ray to the surface normal
- 35. a periodic motion that repeats itself in a regular cycle
- 36. the lowest point below the rest of the wave
- 38. the matter that a wave travels through
- 39. the spreading of waves around obstacles
- 40. non-periodic waveform that typically has one major crest
