Waves
Across
- 3. - time it takes something to happen
- 6. - the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed.
- 7. wave- wave with a repeating continuous pattern which determines its wavelength and frequency.
- 8. wave-a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
- 10. - sensation of a frequency
- 12. - mechanical disturbance from a state of equilibrium
- 15. the reduction of an item's density, the opposite of compression.
- 17. wave -a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum.
- 19. speed- speed at which wave travels
- 20. SI unit of length
Down
- 1. - decrease in volume of any object or substance resulting from applied stress.
- 2. -phenomenon of increased amplitude that occurs when the frequency of an applied periodic force is equal.
- 4. International ( SI ) unit of time
- 5. - maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position.
- 9. - the spreading of waves around polarization
- 11. lowest part of a wave
- 13. - electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye.
- 14. wave-a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
- 16. -unit for expressing the ratio between two physical quantities,
- 18. - how loud or soft a sound seems to a listener.
