Sound
Across
- 2. the material through which a wave travels
- 7. particles move perpendicularly to the direction the wave travels
- 10. a longitudinal wave that is caused by vibrations and travels through the medium
- 11. particles move back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels, or parallel to the wave
- 12. the speed at which a wave travels
- 14. a reflected sound wave
- 15. the time required for one cycle
- 18. the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave?
- 19. a change in the observed frequency of a wave when the sound source, the observer, or both are moving
- 21. how high or low you think a sound is
Down
- 1. a measure of how well a sound can be heard
- 3. wave that requires a medium through which to travel
- 4. a disturbance in electric and magnetic fields
- 5. when a sound wave matches the natural frequency of an object and causes the object to vibrate
- 6. a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another
- 8. the use of echoes, or reflected sound waves to find objects
- 9. when two or more waves overlap and combine to form one wave
- 13. the most common unit used to express loudness
- 16. frequency is expressed in
- 17. a measure of how far the particles in the medium move away from their normal rest position
- 20. is a wave that tells how many cycles occur in an amount of time usually 1 s
