Wave Properties

3. Is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave in a given interval of time.
8. A type of radiation that has both magnetic fields and electrical fields.
10. When two waves of identical wavelength are in phase, they form a new wave with an amplitude equal to the sum of their individual amplitudes.
11. The spreading of waves around obstacles.
13. The maximum displacement or distance moves by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.
14. Describes the changes in frequency of any kind of sound or light wave produced by a moving source with respect to an observer.
15. The entire range of wavelengths or frequencies of electromagnetic radiation extending from gamma rays to the longest radio waves and including visible light.

1. Is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time.
2. Occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction.
4. Cause the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
5. Abrupt change in the direction of propagation of a wave that strikes the boundary between different mediums.
6. Is the distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next one.
7. Is a substance or material that carries the wave.
9. Wave consisting of a periodic disturbance or vibration that takes place in the same direction as the advance of the wave.
12. The change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed.
