electricity and waves
Across
- 5. magnets that carry electrical current
- 7. a large discharge of static electricity
- 8. Changing electric and magnetic fields are called
- 11. What do like charges do?
- 16. Occurs when waves that overlap combine, forming a new wave.
- 17. Waves in which the motion of the particles are perpendicular to the motion of the wave is called
- 18. a map of a circuit
- 20. The bouncing of a wave off a surface.
- 22. The change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to another.
- 24. The passage of light through an object.
- 25. a measure of the electrical force provided by an energy source
- 27. the flow of electrical charges through a material
- 30. Waves that require a Medium is called
Down
- 1. A material that connects the parts of the circuit together and carries electric current
- 2. a more complex type of circuit having more than one branch or pathway and not all branches have to be at the same time
- 3. a type of circuit having more than one resister by an energy source
- 4. Number of wave Length that passes a point in a given time interval
- 6. a circuit containing a source of energy and at least one conductor. It may also include a switch, which opens or closes a gap in the circuit.
- 9. The greatest distance that particles displaced form their normal resting position is called
- 10. The distance from one crest to the nextor from one troughs to the next
- 12. provides energy to move electric charges through a circuit
- 13. Waves that cause the particles in a medium to vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion.
- 14. The time required for one complete vibration of a particle in a medium.
- 15. Matter through which a wave travels is called
- 19. a material through which an electric charge can easily move
- 20. a material that resists the flow of an electric charge
- 21. High point of a transverse wave
- 23. When a wave is reflected from a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.
- 26. a material used to reduce or prevent the transfer of electricity
- 28. Low point of a traverse wave
- 29. controls the flow of charges by closing or opening a gap in the circuit
