Wave Properties & Behaviors

5. The distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement of the wave.
7. The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time.
9. consists of a repeating pattern of compressions and rarefactions.
10. The distance between identical points in a wave.
12. A kind of radiation including visible light, radio waves, gamma rays, and Xrays, in which electric and magnetic fields vary simultaneously.
13. 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.
14. The speed at which a wave travels.
15. The spreading of waves as they pass through or around an obstacle.

1. The change in the direction of a wavefront at the interface between two different media, bouncing the wavefront back into the original medium.
2. happens when two waves overlap in such a way that they combine to create a larger wave.
3. The change in wave frequency during the relative motion between a wave source and its observer.
4. The change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed.
6. A wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
8. travels in waves and spans a broad spectrum from very long radio waves to very short gamma rays.
11. occurs when waves come together so that they completely cancel each other out.
