Physics
Across
- 4. The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave.
- 5. A transparent optical element that disperses light into its component colors.
- 7. The number of complete wave cycles that pass a point per unit time.
- 10. The interaction of two or more waves that results in a new wave pattern.
- 13. The orientation of the oscillations of a wave, particularly light, in a particular direction.
- 14. of Light, The constant speed at which light travels in a vacuum, approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second.
- 15. The study of light and its behavior, including reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
Down
- 1. The bending and spreading of waves around obstacles or through openings.
- 2. A transparent object that refracts light to form an image.
- 3. Interference When waves combine to cancel each other out.
- 6. The bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another.
- 8. The bouncing back of a wave when it encounters a surface or boundary.
- 9. The maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position.
- 11. Interference When waves combine to form a larger wave.
- 12. A disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space.
