Video Lesson 1 vocab
Across
- 2. need a medium ex. ripples on water
- 5. The time required for two successive wave crests to pass a fixed point
- 7. the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed
- 8. radio, microwave, infered, vissible light, ultraviolet, x-ray, Gamma
- 11. the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position
- 13. the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated
- 16. the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source
Down
- 1. wave is perpendicular to particle motion
- 3. longitudinal+transversal
- 4. wave motion is parallel to particle motion
- 6. the lowest point the medium sinks to
- 9. the distance between two peaks in a wave
- 10. do not need a medium ex. light
- 12. a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge
- 14. the point on a wave with the maximum value of upward displacement within a cycle
- 15. the number of times an event occurs per unit of time
