  1. 3. Description of materials that allow light to pass through them in straight lines.
  2. 6. In the context of physics, the time required for vibration or a wave to make one complete cycle. In chemistry, a horizontal row in the periodic table.
  3. 8. For a wave or a vibration, the maximum displacement on either side of the equilibrium (midpoint) position.
  4. 9. An energy-carrying wave produced by an oscillating electric charge.
  5. 10. 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.

  1. 1. A wave in which the medium vibrates in a direction parallel (longitudinal) to the direction in which the wave travels.
  2. 2. A wave in which the medium vibrates in a direction perpendicular (transverse) to the direction in which the wave travels.
  3. 4. The combined effect of two or more waves overlapping.
  4. 5. The change in frequency of a wave due to the motion of the source (or due to the motion of the receiver).
  5. 7. The SI unit of frequency; one hertz (Symbol Hz) equals one vibrations per second.
