Across
- 2. what is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum
- 4. what is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction that the wave moves
- 8. what are light waves in which the vibrations occur in a single plane
- 11. what are materials that permit electrons to flow freely from particle to particle
- 12. what is a measure of the elasticity of the spring
- 13. what are materials that impede the free flow of electrons
- 14. what is a change in position of an object with respect to time and its reference point

- 24. what is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time
- 25. what is it called when a light beam rebounds after hitting a surface
- 26. what is the increase or decrease in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward or away from each other
Down
- 1. what is the production of an electromotive force across a conductor when it is exposed to a varying magnetic field
- 3. what is the time needed for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point
- 5. what is it called when a light beam bends after hitting a surface
- 6. what is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves
- 7. what is a type of interference that occurs between two interfering waves that have a displacement in the opposite direction
- 9. what is the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many angles
- 10. what is an object called if it gives off light
- 14. what a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts
- 15. what is a region within a magnetic material which has uniform magnetization
- 17. what type of reflection happens when light from a single incoming direction is reflected into a single outgoing direction

- 19. what is an object called if it is being lit by another object
- 20. will tend to bring the system back toward equilibrium
- 21. what is a region around a charged particle or object within which a force would be exerted on other charged particles or objects
