Waves
Across
- 1. the number of occurrences of a repeating wave/time (i.e. cycle/second)
- 4. speed of a _____ wave is 3 x 10^8 m/s
- 5. type of wave created as a result of vibrations between an electric and magnetic field
- 7. the duration of time of one cycle in a wave (i.e., reciprocal of frequency)
- 9. type of wave where particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation
- 10. distance between two consecutive similar points of a wave
- 12. waves which oscillate in the direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels
Down
- 2. a wave (e.g., light, sound)bounces off a boundary and returns into the original medium, changing its direction
- 3. a disturbance that travels through a medium or space, transporting energy
- 6. maximum amount of displacement of a particle from its rest position
- 8. the bending of a wave when traveling from one medium to another
- 11. speed of a _____ wave is 343 m/s
