Unit 9 Waves
Across
- 4. Distance between a point on one wave and the same point on the next cycle of the wave
- 5. Surface particles move in circles
- 9. Pair of perpendicular transverse waves (electric field and magnetic field)
- 11. type of interference that occurs when two or more waves facing opposite directions combine and the smaller wave destroys part of the larger one
- 13. How high or low a sound seems to the human ear
- 16. a disturbance that propagates energy through a medium or empty space
- 17. Interaction of a wave when it bounces off a surface it cannot pass through
- 18. A wave that travels through a medium
Down
- 1. How loud or quiet a sound seems
- 2. Vibration is perpendicular (right angle, 90°) to the direction of motion
- 3. Transverse: The maximum displacement of a particle by a wave measured from its resting position
- 6. Vibration propagates (moves) in the same direction as the movement of energy
- 7. Material through which a wave carries energy
- 8. Apparent change in frequency due to moving objects
- 10. type of interference that occurs when two or more waves facing the same direction combine and construct a larger wave
- 12. Waves bend as they move around an obstacle or through a narrow opening
- 14. The number of complete cycles of the wave in a given time
- 15. Time it takes for one complete cycle of a wave to pass a given point
- 17. Waves bend when entering a new medium at an angle
