Waves
Across
- 3. usable power that can be transferred or converted to different forms, but can't be created or destroyed; the ability to do work
- 4. the highness or lowness of a sound, which depends on the frequency of its sound wave
- 5. the type of wave that can only travel through a medium (solid, liquid, gas)
- 7. how loud a sound is, which depends on the amplitude of its sound wave
- 10. the type of wave in which a wave's medium is compressed (squeezed) in the same direction as the movement of the wave
- 14. the low point of a wave
- 15. the type of energy in movement/motion
- 17. the length of one wave, can be measured as the distance from the center of one peak (crest) to the center of the next peak (crest)
- 18. a point where a wave crosses the resting line
- 19. the high point of a wave
- 20. something you can observe about an object, material, or system
- 23. the rate (how often) of something that repeats over and over
Down
- 1. a quick back-and-forth movement
- 2. a substance or material (solid, liquid, gas)
- 6. a back and forth pattern of motion that transfers energy
- 8. another name for a compression wave
- 9. the type of wave in which the movement of the wave's medium is perpendicular (sideways) to the movement of the wave traveling through the medium
- 11. a mathematical relationship where if one variable increases, the other decreases (example: frequency vs wavelength)
- 12. the reflection of sound off a distant surface
- 13. the height of the peak/crest of a wave above the resting line
- 16. to bounce back
- 20. a repeating and recognizable feature
- 21. a short burst that travels as a wave
- 22. a regular pattern of motion
