Waves
Across
- 2. when waves bend around barriers or pass through openings
- 3. repeated back and forth or up and down motion
- 4. a wave that vibrates the medium at right angles or perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels
- 8. an increase in aplituded of a vibration that occurs when external vibrations match an object's natural fequency
- 12. when a wave hits a surface that bounces back
- 13. material through which a wave travels
- 17. low point on a transverse wave
- 18. the interaction between waves that meet
- 19. bending of waves due to a change in speed
- 20. distance between two corresponding parts of the wave
- 21. max distance the medium vibrates from rest position
- 22. the number of waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time
- 24. unit of measure for frequency
Down
- 1. vibrates the medium in the same direction in which the wave travels
- 5. a wave that appears to stand in one place even through it is two waves interfering as they pass through one another
- 6. the combination of waves to form a larger amplitude than the individual waves
- 7. the combination of waves to form a smaller amplitude than the individual waves
- 9. disturbance involving the transfer of energy from place to place
- 10. ability to do work
- 11. maximum amplitude point
- 14. waves that require a medium to travel
- 15. a zero amplitude point
- 16. high point on a transverse wave
- 19. an area where coils are spread out
- 23. an area where coils are close together
