Physics Crossword 3
Across
- 2. bouncing back into same medium
- 4. interference where amplitudes are added, crests line up with crests
- 7. change in frequency due to source or observer motion
- 10. created by oscillations in electric and magnetic fields, can travel across a vacuum

- 26. mechanical, longitudinal wave
Down
- 1. change of wave speed across medium (results in bending of wave)
- 3. vibrations are perpendicular to wave motion

- 13. related to sound wave's frequency
- 15. related to light wave's amplitude
- 16. difference between frequencies, waves are slightly out of sync
