Waves
Across
- 2. the perception of how high or low a sound seems
- 4. a material that allows most of the light that strikes it to pass through, but appear blurry
- 5. a wave that travels only through matter
- 13. a material through which light does not pass
- 14. the region of a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart
- 17. the change is direction of a wave as it changes speed,moving from one medium into another
- 18. the unit used to measure sound intensity, or loudness
Down
- 1. a wave that can travel through empty space and matter
- 3. the amount of energy that passes through a square meter of space in one second
- 6. the number of wavelengths that pass a point each second
- 7. an electromagnetic wave with a slightly shorter wavelength and higher frequency than light
- 8. the region of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are closest together
- 9. a wave that makes the wave particles move back and forth parallel to the direction the wave travels.
- 10. a low-frequency, low-energy electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength longer than about 30cm
- 11. a material that allows almost all of the light striking it to pass through, and through which objects can be seen clearly
- 12. an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength shorter than a microwave but longer than light
- 15. the maximum distance a wave varies from its rest position
- 16. a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction a wave travels
