waves
Across
- 2. The distance a wave travels in a given amount of time (wavelength x frequency).
- 5. Energy that travels through space in the form of waves, including radio waves, light, and X-rays.
- 6. A wave in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels.
- 8. The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave, such as crest to crest.
- 10. The bending or spreading of waves as they move around a barrier or through an opening.
- 12. When two waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude.
- 14. The material through which a mechanical wave travels.
- 15. An observed change in the frequency of a wave when the source or observer is moving.
Down
- 1. When two waves combine to make a wave with a smaller amplitude.
- 3. The maximum distance the particles of a medium move from their resting position.
- 4. A wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling.
- 7. The bending of a wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another.
- 9. The complete range of electromagnetic waves placed in order of increasing frequency.
- 11. The number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time.
- 13. The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.
