Cool Waves
Across
- 3. abrupt change in the direction of propagation of a wave that strikes the boundary between different mediums
- 5. the distance a wave travels in a given amount of time
- 6. the flow of energy at the speed of light
- 8. interference that occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction
- 11. the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another
- 12. the substance that transfers the energy, or light from one substance to another substance or from one place to another or from one surface to another
- 13. Waves that cause a medium to move perpendicular to the direction of that wave.
- 14. the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position
- 15. the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time
Down
- 1. the spreading of waves around obstacles
- 2. when the maxima of two waves add together so that the amplitude of the resulting wave is equal to the sum of the individual amplitudes
- 4. the entire distribution of electromagnetic radiation according to frequency or wavelength
- 7. wave where the particle motion is in the same direction in which the wave is propagating
- 9. the distance between identical points
- 10. an effect produced by a moving source of waves in which there is an apparent upward shift in frequency for observers
