Waves
Across
- 2. (a vector arrow, drawn perpendicular to the wave front, that indicates the direction in which a wave is moving)
- 4. (Increasing the frequency of a wave ___ its wavelength.
- 6. (the "actual" wave - easy to see with a water wave.)
- 10. (___ waves move particles parallel to the direction the wave is moving, “push-pull” waves.)
- 13. (distance between two identical points on consecutive waves)
- 14. (wave ___ is the phenomenon that takes place when waves while traveling in the same media met.)
- 17. (___ waves Travel on a surface separating 2 media)
- 18. (The more energy a wave has, the ___ is its amplitude)
- 20. (how fast the wave is moving)
Down
- 1. (is the change of direction, or bending, of waves when they move between mediums.)
- 3. (max displacement from its rest position (also known as wave height))
- 5. (____ waves cause the medium to vibrate at right angles to the direction the wave travels)
- 7. (interference is when the two interfering waves met in the medium and have displacement in the same direction.)
- 8. (____ of incidence- the angle formed by the ray and the surface it hits)
- 9. (the material through which a wave passes)
- 11. (interference- Occurs when the crest and troughs of two interfering waves meet, and their amplitudes cancel out.)
- 12. (number of cycles in a certain time.)
- 15. (time required to go through one cycle. Measured in seconds)
- 16. (when energy moves through a medium as a vibration)
- 19. (is when a mechanical wave strikes a barrier.)
- 20. (Waves near shore will break and carry the medium with it, which is why __ washes up on shore)
