Sound and Light
Across
- 2. The distance between successive crests or successive troughs.
- 4. When a forced frequency matches its natural frequency. (Think of the swaying bridge.)
- 9. How strong a wave is from the midpoint of a wave.
- 11. A unit measuring frequency per second.
- 13. Any two colors that, when added, produce white light.
- 14. The darker part of a shadow where light is blocked.
- 15. A wave in a direction parallel to the direction the wave travels.
- 18. A wave in which the medium vibrates in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
- 19. Happens during a longitudinal wave in which the wave is condensed.
- 21. Happens during a longitudinal wave of reduced pressure
- 23. A sound frequency too high to hear by the normal human ear.
Down
- 1. An energy-carrying wave composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that regenerate one another,
- 3. Materials through which light can pass in straight lines.
- 5. The number of vibrations per unit of time.
- 6. The loud sound resulting from the incidence of a shock wave.
- 7. Where two waves intersect and causes the waves to either be amplified or cancelled.
- 8. A return of Light rays from a surface.
- 10. A partial shadow where not all the light is blocked.
- 12. The range of waves in frequency from radio waves to gamma rays.
- 16. A sound frequency too low to be heard by the normal human ear.
- 17. A shift in frequency due to movement either towards or away from a receiver. (Think car horn)
- 20. The bending of an ray of light when it passes from one transparent medium to another.
- 22. Materials that absorb light where light cannot pass
