Ch 4 8 Science Drennan
Across
- 2. An electromagnetic wave with a slightly shorter wavelength and higher frequency than light.
- 4. The amount of energy that passes through a square meter of space in one second.
- 6. The region of a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart.
- 10. The region of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are closest together.
- 11. The unit used to measure sound intensity, or loudness
- 12. Is the maximum distance a wave varies from its rest position.
- 13. A material that allows most of the light that str4ikes it to pass through, but through which objects appear blurry.
- 16. A wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
- 17. A material that allows almost all of the light striking it to pass through, and through which objects can be seen clearly.
- 18. A meterial through which light does not pass.
Down
- 1. The perception of how high or low a sound seems.
- 3. A wave that makes the particles of a medium move back and forth parallel to the direction the wave travels.
- 5. A low-frequency, low-energy electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength longer than about 30 cm.
- 7. A wave that travels only through matter.
- 8. A wave that can travel through empty space or through matter.
- 9. The change in direction of a wave as it changes speed, moving from one medium into another.
- 14. The number of wavelengths that pass a point each second.
- 15. An electromagnetic wave with a wavelength shorter than a microwave but longer then light.
