Survival of the Physics
Across
- 2. A range of frequencies and wavelength in a vacuum
- 3. restricting the vibrations of a transverse wave
- 4. a substance that carries the wave
- 8. require a medium to travel through
- 12. relationship between angles of incidence and refraction when light or other waves pass through a boundary of different isotropic media
- 14. When two waves in the same place at the same time meet they interfere with each other
- 18. if two objects have the same natural frequencies they could begin to vibrate at the frequency
- 20. waves in the same place at same time interacting with each other due to their superposition
- 22. a ray of energy that bounces back in the same medium after hitting the reflective surface
- 23. a single disturbance which carries energy through a medium or through space
- 25. the shift in the observed frequency and wavelength of a wave caused by relative motion
- 27. the highest amount of displacement of an object
- 29. amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point
- 32. the superstition of waves of equal amplitude and frequency traveling in the opposite directions in the same medium
- 34. when the maximum of two waves are 180 degrees out of phase
- 36. points of no displacement, particles at those points are not vibrating at all
- 37. the maximum height of a wave within a cycle
- 39. the area where the wave medium is spread out
- 42. the angle of light reflected off a boundary
- 43. the angle of light striking a boundary
- 44. The angle of the light striking a boundary
Down
- 1. several pulses at regular interval (oscillations) creates these
- 5. the bending and spreading of waves around obstacles
- 6. ray on the surface is scattered at many angles compared to just one angle
- 7. the same point on two consecutive waves
- 9. Interference when the waves interact with each other the amplitudes will add together
- 10. sounds varying based on the frequency and vibration of the sounds waves producing them
- 11. having a single wavelength of light or other radiation
- 13. governs what happens when a wave hits a boundary
- 15. the area where the wave medium is bunched
- 16. when an object is moving towards (blueshift) or away (redshifts) from us
- 17. the ratio of the speed of light to the velocity of the wave in any medium
- 19. regular intervals from a fixed point/position
- 21. A wave where the medium moves in the direction of the propagation
- 24. light bounces off an (opaque) boundary
- 26. particles of the wave vibrate perpendicular the direction of the wave velocity
- 28. the way waves travel
- 30. number of waves that point in one second
- 31. particles of the wave vibrate in the same direction the wave velocity (sound waves)
- 33. changes in total amplitude when two waves with different frequencies interfere
- 35. points on the waveform where the particles experience maximum displacement
- 38. (opposite of crest)
- 40. the change in direction of a wave caused by the change in a waves speed
- 41. the distance between identical points (adjacent crests)
