properties and behavior of waves
Across
- 1. The colors we can see on the electromagnetic spectrum
- 8. the power to make waves.
- 9. what kind of wave is a longitudinal wave?
- 10. what kind of wave is a transverse wave?
- 14. a logarithmic unit used to measure sound level.
- 15. when a wave goes through an object
- 17. a change in direction of waves when they bounce off a barrier
- 18. the process or action by which one thing absorbs or is absorbed by another.
- 20. the distance between identical points
- 22. the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time
- 23. motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance.
- 25. a vibration or disturbance transmitted through a material or through space.
Down
- 2. it is a kind of wave that is a sound wave
- 3. the opposite of a crest
- 4. a point on a surface wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum.
- 5. the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.
- 6. is the substance that carries a wave from one location to another.
- 7. the change in direction of a wave as it passes from one medium to another.
- 11. not transparent but clear enough to allow light to pass through.
- 12. The smallest ray on the electromagnetic spectrum with the most energy.
- 13. the spreading of waves around obstacles.
- 16. a wave that is an oscillation of matter and is responsible for the transfer of energy through a medium.
- 19. not able to be seen through; not transparent.
- 21. 1 of these is equal to 1 cycle per second, it has to do with frequency.
- 24. velocity of a wave.
