Gracie Bryant Waves 2nd period
Across
- 2. the bouncing back of a wave after it strikes a barrier
- 6. the bending of a wave as it enters a new medium at an angle other than 90 degrees
- 10. the lowest point or valley of a wave
- 12. a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another
- 13. the direction in which the wave travels is perpendicular to the direction of the disturbance
- 14. when a 1m wave crest meets a 1m wave trough, the amplitudes cancel each other of to make an amplitude of 0
- 16. waves that transfer energy through matter
- 17. the distance a medium moves above or below its position of rest
- 18. the number of waves passing a fixed point in a certain amount of time
Down
- 1. the highest point or peak of a wave
- 3. the water or medium level at rest
- 4. when two wave crests with amplitudes of 1m each combine to make an amplitude of 2m
- 5. a longitudinal wave produced by vibrations
- 7. the wave travels in the same direction of the disturbance
- 8. the meeting and combining of waves
- 9. the distance from one crest or trough to the next
- 11. the highness or lowness of a sound determined by the frequency of the sound wave
- 12. =wavelength multiplied by frequency
- 14. the spreading out of waves through an opening or around the edge of an obstacle
- 15. any substance a wave moves through
