Wave properties
Across
- 5. The change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving through one medium to another.
- 6. The regions on a longitudinal wave that are farthest apart.
- 7. a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
- 10. A wave that can travel both through empty space and through matter.
- 11. The number of wavelengths that pass by in a number of seconds.
- 13. highest point on a wave.
- 15. The region on a longitudinal wave that is close together.
- 17. The passage of light through an object.
- 19. When a wave is reflected from a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.
- 20. The bouncing of a wave off a surface.
Down
- 1. A wave that can travel only through matter.
- 2. When waves that overlap combine, forming a new wave.
- 3. makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave travels.
- 4. The change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge of an object or through an opening.
- 8. lowest point on a wave.
- 9. A material in which a wave travels.
- 12. The distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next.
- 14. The transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels.
- 16. The maximum distance that the wave moves from its rest position.
- 18. A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.
