Across
  1. 2. the number of wave cycles in a unit time
  2. 5. a material that moves energy or light from one substance to another, or from one location to another, or from one surface to another
  3. 6. refers to the change in wave frequency during the relative motion between a wave source and its observer.
  4. 7. the range of all types of EM Radiation
  5. 9. a wave of electric and magnetic fields propagating at the speed of light c through empty space
  6. 12. occurs when waves come together so that they completely cancel each other out.
  7. 13. the distance a wave travels in a given amount of time
  8. 14. the displacement from the equilibrium
  9. 15. the change of direction of a wave passing from one medium caused by its change in speed to another
Down
  1. 1. when two waves overlap in such a way that they combine to create a larger wave.
  2. 3. the spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects
  3. 4. when light bounces off an object, ex: mirror
  4. 8. wave in which the vibrating element moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of advance of the wave.
  5. 10. a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation
  6. 11. the distance between two peaks in a wave
