Science Wave vocabolary
Across
- 4. When two waves travel in the same direction and are in phase with each other
- 7. the number of waves that pass a given point in one second-(measured in hertz)
- 8. the distance in the line of advance of a wave from any one point to the next point of corresponding phase
- 9. the spreading of waves as they pass through or around an obstacle.
- 11. the measure of the height of the wave
- 12. a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are furthest apart
- 14. the perception of loudness from the intensity of a sound wave
- 16. the increase or decrease in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move towards or away from each other.
- 18. the change of direction of propagation of a wave when it meets a boundary
- 19. a disturbance in a medium that carries energy without a net movement of particles
- 20. a point on a surface wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum
Down
- 1. a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.
- 2. the change in direction of a wave as it passes from one medium to another
- 3. type of wave in which the medium's vibration is parallel to the direction of the wave
- 5. a wave that oscillates perpendicularly to the direction of the wave's advance
- 6. occurs when waves come together so that they completely cancel each other out.
- 10. the opposite of a crest, so the minimum or lowest point in a cycle
- 13. a form of radiation that travel though the universe-(ex:light)
- 15. a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together
- 17. determined by the frequency of vibration of the sound waves that produce them
