Chapter 10: Waves
Across
- 6. / occurs when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it.
- 7. wave / matter in the medium moves back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave travels.
- 10. / the less dense region of a compressional wave.
- 11. wave / matter in the medium moves back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels.
- 13. / a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space.
- 14. / occurs when a wave strikes an object and bounces off of it.
- 15. / the amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point.
- 16. / the low point of a transverse wave.
- 17. / A type of wave that requires a medium
- 18. / the matter that waves travel through.
- 19. / wave a special type of wave pattern that forms when waves equal in wavelength and amplitude, but travelling in opposite directions, continuously interfere with each other.
Down
- 1. / the number of crests or troughs that pass a fixed by a fixed point.
- 2. / when two or more waves overlap and combine to form a new wave.
- 3. / the distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it.
- 4. / the high point of a transverse wave.
- 5. / the process by which an object is made to vibrate by absorbing energy at its natural frequencies.
- 8. / the bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another.
- 9. / A type of wave that does not require a medium and can travel through space.
- 12. / the greater this is in a wave, the more energy the wave carries.
