Wave Vocabulary Review
Across
- 6. When two waves of identical wavelength are in phase, they form a new wave with an amplitude equal to the sum of their individual amplitudes
- 10. the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave
- 11. makes possible the transfer of energy from one location to another, especially through waves
- 12. the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position
Down
- 1. occurs when the maxima of two waves are 180
- 2. a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
- 3. combination of two waves moving in opposite directions, each having the same amplitude and frequency
- 4. The highest surface part of a wave
- 5. the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle
- 7. The lowest surface part of a wave
- 8. the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time
- 9. a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
