waves
Across
- 1. the process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge, typically accompanied by interference between the wave forms produced.
- 3. The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time
- 6. occurs when waves come together so that they completely cancel each other out.
- 7. a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
- 8. the distance between identical points
- 10. occurs when the maxima of two waves add together
- 11. an increase (or decrease) in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward (or away from) each other
- 12. the speed at which a wave travels.
- 13. the fact or phenomenon of light, radio waves, etc. being deflected in passing obliquely through the interface between one medium and another or through a medium of varying density.
- 15. 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.
Down
- 2. a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation
- 4. the range of all types of EM radiation.
- 5. a kind of radiation including visible light,
- 9. the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.
- 14. the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it.
