waves
Across
- 1. the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position
- 5. a wave as it passes from one medium to another
- 6. the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time
- 10. The process of taking nutrients from the digestive system into the blood so they can be used in the body
- 12. a long depression less steep than a trench.
- 17. are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field
- 19. is a propagating dynamic disturbance of one or more quantities
- 20. (light, heat, sound, etc.) to pass through a medium
Down
- 2. a form of "electromagnetic" radiation
- 3. is the spatial period of a periodic wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.
- 4. a form of electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light
- 7. refract light inward toward a focal point
- 8. waves a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation
- 9. the repetition of a sound caused by reflection of sound waves
- 11. electromagnetic radiation of the shortest wavelength and highest energy
- 13. the substance that transfers the energy, or light from one substance to another substance or from one place to another, or from one surface to another
- 14. The highest surface part of a wave is called the
- 15. waves a wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave's advance
- 16. a long depression less steep than a trench
- 18. when light bounces off an object
