Across
- 2. Waves: Waves that can travel only through matter (sound waves)
- 6. Pattern is a regular arrangement of places where wave effects are increased, decreased, or neutralized.
- 7. The bending of a wave around an object
- 8. the time of a back-and-forth swing of a pendulum.
- 9. Low points on a wave.
- 12. The bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it travels from one medium to another
- 13. Matter through which a wave travels
- 14. The distance from the midpoint to the crest (or trough) of the wave.
- 16. The number of vibrations an object makes in a unit of time.
- 17. Wave: Whenever the motion of the medium is at right angles to the direction in which a wave travels.
Down
- 1. Curve: A pictorial representation of a wave.
- 3. High points on a wave.
- 4. interference: the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another and their individual effects add together.
- 5. Wave: When the particles oscillate parallel to or along the direction of the wave.
- 7. Effect: this apparent change in frequency due to the motion of the source (or receiver)
- 10. A repeating disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space
- 11. The distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next one.
- 15. interference: the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another and their individual effects are reduced.
