Vibrations and Waves vocab
Across
- 1. high points on a wave
- 5. the back-and-forth vibratory motion (oscillatory motion), of a swinging pendulum
- 9. the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another and their individual effects are reduced
- 10. the positions on a standing wave with the largest amplitudes
- 11. this apparent change in frequency due to the motion of the source
- 13. the time of a back-and-forth swing of a pendulum
- 14. Whenever the motion of the medium is at right angles to the direction in which a wave travels
Down
- 2. low points on a wave
- 3. are the stationary points on a standing wave
- 4. the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another and their individual effects add together
- 6. When the particles oscillate parallel to or along the direction of the wave
- 7. The distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next one
- 8. The number of vibrations an object makes in a unit of time
- 12. a pictorial representation of a wave
- 15. The distance from the midpoint to the crest (or trough) of the wave
