Waves
Across
- 3. How many wave peaks pass a certain point per given time
- 5. faster than the speed of sound
- 8. waves that require a medium through which to travel
- 9. The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.
- 10. Bending of a wave as it moves from one medium to another
- 11. slower than the speed of sound
- 14. For a wave or vibration, the maximum displacement on either side of the equilibrium (midpoint) position.
- 15. Highest point of a wave
Down
- 1. Occurs when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it
- 2. Lowest point of a wave
- 4. matter in the medium moves back and forth along the same direction that the wave travels, requires a medium, moves energy parallel.
- 6. transverse waves consisting of changing electric fields and changing magnetic fields
- 7. The distance between a point on one wave and the same point on the next cycle of the wave. ( crest to crest or trough to trough)
- 12. a unit of motion that repeats
- 13. A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels, some transverse waves do not require a medium
