waves
Across
- 4. abrupt change in the direction of propagation of a wave that strikes the boundary between different mediums
- 5. the apparent difference between the frequency at which sound or light waves leave a source and that at which they reach an observer, caused by relative motion of the observer and the wave source.
- 6. a substance or material that carries the wave.
- 8. the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.
- 9. When two waves of identical wavelength are in phase, they form a new wave with an amplitude equal to the sum of their individual amplitudes
- 12. a type of interference that occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction.
- 13. a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
Down
- 1. the number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time.
- 2. the flow of energy at the universal speed of light through free space or through a material medium in the form of the electric and magnetic fields that make up electromagnetic waves such as radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays.
- 3. wave consisting of a periodic disturbance or vibration that takes place in the same direction as the advance of the wave.
- 7. the spreading of waves around obstacles.
- 10. the range of all types of EM radiation.
- 11. the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed.
