SOUND AND PRESSURE WAVES
Across
- 4. a description of how high or low the sound seems to a person
- 7. the time it takes for one complete wavelength to pass
- 8. occurs when waves combine to form a new wave while they overlap
- 9. when two objects naturally vibrate at the same frequency
- 11. the distance between one point on a wave and the same point on the next wave; measured in meters
Down
- 1. a wave in which the particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave moves
- 2. the repeated back-and-forth movement of an object or substance
- 3. the number of vibrations per second; measured in Hertz (Hz)
- 5. a unit used to measure the “loudness” of a sound (dB)
- 6. how fast pressure waves of a sound travels; measured in meters per second:
- 10. a measure of how compressed or rarefied the medium becomes
