Chapter 8 Crossword Jacob Riggs
Across
- 1. In the context of physics, the time required for a vibration or a wave to make one complete cycle. In chemistry, a horizontal row in the periodic table.
- 4. The distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next crest or, equivalently, the distance between successive identical parts of the wave.
- 6. For a wave or a vibration, the maximum displacement on either side of the equilibrium (midpoint) position.
- 8. Any bending of light by means other than reflection and refraction.
- 9. A disturbance that travels from one place to another transporting energy, but not necessarily matter, along with it.
- 10. For a vibrating body, the number of vibrations per unit time. For a wave, the number of crests that pass a particular point per unit time.
Down
- 2. The returning of a wave to the medium from which it came when it hits a barrier.
- 3. The bending of waves due to a change in wave speed.
- 5. A wave in which the medium vibrates in a direction perpendicular (transverse) to the direction in which the wave travels.
- 7. The SI unit of frequency; one hertz (symbol Hz) equals one vibration per second.
