Waves
Across
- 6. does not transport energy and combines two waves moving in opposite directions
- 7. the movement of waves and the transmission of motion, light, and sound in a certain direction or through a medium
- 8. light bounces off of a opaque boundary
- 12. the position of a point in time on a cycle of a waveform
- 14. the amplitude is increased by matching vibrations of another object
- 15. the number of waves that pass a certain point in one second
- 16. the ratio of the speed of light to the velocity of the wave in any medium
- 21. particles of the wave that vibrate in the same direction as the wave velocity.
- 22. waves are spread out to fill the space through which they are moving
- 23. the angle of light reflected off a boundary
- 25. a single disturbance that moves through a transmission medium.
- 27. a wave that transfers energy through a medium
- 29. waves in which the water particles move in closed vertical orbits
- 34. The highest surface of a wave
- 37. light rays are reflected from a polished surface
- 38. the lowest part of a wave
- 40. cannot be directly measured and is each person's subjective perception of a sound wave
- 42. the pulsation caused by the combining two waves with slightly different frequencies
- 43. the maximum distance by a point on a wave
- 44. the angle between the direction of motion of the wave and is perpendicular to the reflecting boundary
- 45. When one wave hits another wave their amplitudes merge and make a new wave
Down
- 1. a ray of light that hits a surface
- 2. two waves overlap each other and make a smaller wave
- 3. the way the electromagnetic field of transverse waves are oriented
- 4. a wave with a repeating pattern that determines the wavelength.
- 5. the area where a wave medium is clumped together
- 9. a ray rebounding back in the same medium after hitting the reflecting surface
- 10. two waves overlap each other and make a bigger wave
- 11. that's arranged according to the amount of energy the radiation carries
- 13. an incident ray is reflected at many angles when light is reflected from a surface
- 17. wave particles that vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave velocity
- 18. the range of all
- 19. the area where the wave medium is spread out
- 20. when two waves of the same phase pass a point at the same time and results in a bigger wave
- 24. a wave with only one wavelength and frequency
- 26. a substance that can carry a wave
- 28. transports energy by moving the medium in the direction of propagation
- 30. a ray of light is reflected off a surface and is equal to the angle of incidence
- 31. a region of no displacement of the medium and maximum destructive interference
- 32. the amount a light wave will bend as it enters a new medium
- 33. amount of time, in seconds, for one wavelength to pass a point
- 35. the distance between various points of two waves
- 36. region of maximum displacement of the medium and maximum constructive interference
- 39. the increase or decrease in the frequency of sound or light waves as the source and observer move toward or away from one another.
- 41. when a wave passes from one medium to another it changes its direction in speed
