SCI 117- WAVES AND OPTICS
Across
- 3. the maximum height of a wave from its rest position
- 6. the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye where images form
- 7. point point, the point where light rays converge after passing through lens
- 10. the bending of waves as they pass from one medium to another
- 14. the interaction of two or more overlapping waves
Down
- 1. the splitting of white light into its component colors
- 2. the distance between two identical points of consecutive waves, such as crest to crest
- 4. an optical instrument used to view distant objects in space
- 5. the bouncing back of light or waves when they hit a surface
- 8. transparent material that refracts light to form images
- 9. the number of wave cycles that pass a point in one second
- 11. the transparent front layer of the eye that helps focus light
- 12. an optical istrument used to view very small objects
- 13. a transparent object that disperses light into different colors
