Wave & Sound Vocab
Across
- 4. A wave produced by a vibrating objecting
- 5. The height of a wave, the maximum displacement of a wave from
- 7. The rate at which a wave moves through matter or across space
- 8. the “highness” or ”lowness” of a sound, determined by the frequency
- 11. A wave where particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the movement of the wave.
- 12. vibrations traveling through a medium that can be heard
- 14. The maximum upward displacement of a wave
- 15. A change in direction of a wave when it bounces off a surface or object
- 17. The number of times a wave cycles in one second or the number of wave cycles in one second
- 19. The rest position
- 20. A repeating, back-and-forth motion
- 21. The time it takes for a wave to complete one wave cycle
- 24. NOT the height of a wave from “bottom to top”
- 25. the loudness of sound, determined by the amplitude
Down
- 1. The length of one wave cycle (the complete path of a wave from
- 2. The combination of two waves to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude
- 3. one complete path of a wave.
- 6. The substance through which a wave travels
- 9. A wave where particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the movement of the wave.
- 10. the dampening of a sound
- 13. point on a wave to the corresponding point on the next cycle)
- 16. the maximum downward displacement of a wave
- 18. The bending of a wave when it enters a medium because the speed of the wave changes
- 22. The bending of a wave when it passes through a slit or around an edge
- 23. a regular pattern of motion created by a vibratory disturbance
