Wave Properties

3. the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time
4. the distance a wave travels in a given amount of time
8. the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed
9. crease (or decrease) in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward (or away from) each other
11. a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation
13. occurs when waves come together so that they completely cancel each other out
14. a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
15. the spreading of waves around obstacles

1. the substance that transfers the energy, or light from one substance to another substance or from one place to another, or from one surface to another
2. the substance that transfers the energy, or light from one substance to another substance or from one place to another, or from one surface to another
5. the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium
6. happens when two waves overlap in such a way that they combine to create a larger wave
7. travels in waves and spans a broad spectrum from very long radio waves to very short gamma rays
10. describes how long the wave is
12. the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it
