Science
Across
- 2. A disturbance, oscillation, or vibration, either of a medium and moving through that medium
- 7. The bending of a wave around the edges of an opening or an obstacle
- 8. The highest point above the rest position
- 12. A unit of frequency (of change in state or cycle in a sound wave, alternating current, or other cyclical waveform) of one cycle per second
- 13. The time it takes for a particle or physical quantity to move through one cycle of oscillation in a wave
- 14. The number of wave cycles to pass a given point per unit of time
- 16. A measure of light power per unit area
- 20. The principle that rock layers form one on top of another, with the youngest layers toward the top
- 23. The angle made by a reflected ray with a perpendicular to the reflecting surface
- 25. A condition well below normal atmospheric pressure
- 27. When heated in flames or put in electrical discharges, emit light at well-defined and characteristic frequencies
- 29. A mechanical wave in which the motion of the oscillating particles in the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave
- 30. Any resonant frequency above the fundamental frequency of a sound
Down
- 1. The maximum distance a particale moves from its starting point in a wave
- 3. The wide range of electromagnetic wavelengths
- 4. The application of balanced inward forces to different points on a material or structure
- 5. A particle of electromagnetic radiation, or quantum of light
- 6. The apparent change in frequency caused by either the source of waves moving, the observer moving, or both moving at different velocities
- 9. A series of repeating peaks and valleys
- 10. A wave generated by a disturbance in electric and magnetic fields
- 11. A description of the frequency of the sound
- 15. A phenomenon that occurs when a wave changes direction as a result of a change in wave speed at different points along a wave front
- 17. A point on a surface wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum
- 18. The property of sound which is used for differentiating between the loud and faint sound
- 19. A wave that does not appear to travel, produced when two identical waves interact as they travel in opposite directions
- 21. The pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium (such as air, water or any other liquid or solid matter) as it propagates away from the source of the sound
- 22. A phenomenon that occurs when a wave or object bounces off an interface or another object
- 24. The process by which an object heats another object through electromagnetic waves
- 26. The type of matter through which a wave’s energy propagates
- 28. A mechanical wave in which the motion of the oscillating particles in the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave
