waves
Across
- 1. describes how long the wave is.
- 5. number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time
- 6. the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.
- 7. the substance that carries a wave (or disturbance) from one location to another
- 8. a kind of radiation including visible light, radio waves, gamma rays, and X-rays, i
- 9. the bending of light as it passes from one transparent substance to another
- 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.
- 13. a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
- 14. occurs when the maxima of two waves add together
Down
- 2. the range of all types of EM radiation.
- 3. a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
- 4. interference of two waves of equal frequency and opposite phase
- 10. act of light reflecting back when it hits a medium on a plane.
- 12. the speed at which a wave travels
