Chapter 19 Vocabulary
Across
- 7. The displacement due to the interference of waves is determined by adding the disturbances produced by each wave.
- 8. The shift in received frequency due to motion of a vibrating source toward or away from a receiver.
- 9. The time in which a full vibration or wave oscillation is completed.
- 10. The distance between successive crests, troughs, or identical parts of a wave.
Down
- 1. A wave in which the medium vibrates in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.
- 2. The number of complete vibrations or oscillations per unit of time.
- 3. A stationary wave pattern formed in a medium when two sets of identical waves pass in opposite directions.
- 4. A wave in which the medium vibrates in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
- 5. For a wave or vibration, the maximum displacement on either side of the equilibrium (midpoint) position.
- 6. The SI unit for frequency. It equals one vibration per second.
