Module 3: Waves and Thermodynamics
Across
- 1. The number of complete waves passing a point each second.
- 3. The transfer of thermal energy by direct particle collisions.
- 6. The apparent bending of waves as they pass from one medium to another.
- 7. The maximum displacement from equilibrium for a transverse wave.
- 8. An increase in wave amplitude when a system is driven at its natural frequency.
- 9. Energy transferred because of a temperature difference.
- 11. The speed at which a wave travels through a medium (4/5).
- 14. A wave in which particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of travel.
- 15. The distance between two consecutive crests or compressions.
- 16. The transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves.
- 17. The maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position.
- 20. When two or more waves overlap to produce a resultant wave.
- 21. The minimum displacement from equilibrium for a transverse wave.
Down
- 2. The transfer of thermal energy by the movement of fluids.
- 4. The transfer of energy through matter without the transfer of matter itself.
- 5. The change in frequency caused by relative motion between the source and the observer 7/6).
- 10. A region of high pressure in a longitudinal wave.
- 12. A wave in which particles vibrate parallel to the direction of travel.
- 13. A region of low pressure in a longitudinal wave.
- 18. The time taken for one complete wave cycle.
- 19. The spreading of waves as they pass through a gap or around an obstacle.
