Wave Propeties

2. A wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation
8. describes how long the wave is
9. increase/decrease in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward/away from each other
13. travels in waves and spans a broad spectrum from very long radio waves to very short gamma rays
15. happens when two waves overlap in such a way that they combine to create a larger wave

1. a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation
3. The change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed
4. spans a broad spectrum from very long radio waves to very short gamma rays
5. The distance a wave travels in a given amount of time
6. the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it
7. the spreading of waves around obstacles
10. the substance that transfers the energy, or light from one substance to another or from one place to another, or from one surface to another
11. occurs when waves come together so that they completely cancel each other out
12. The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time
14. the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation measured from the position of equilibrium
