Waves
Across
- 2. the units used to measure intensity of sound waves
- 5. a disturbance that moves through matter or space
- 6. is the SI unit for frequency
- 7. the distance from one wave of energy to another as it is traveling from one point to another point
- 9. is the places where the coils are squeezed together
- 12. an increase (or decrease) in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward (or away from) each other
- 13. the amount of energy that a wave carries past a certain area each second
- 16. a mechanical wave that causes particles in matter to move back and forth along the direction the wave travels
- 17. the number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
- 18. is half the distance between a crest and trough
- 20. an object that the wave travels through( solids, liquids, gas)
Down
- 1. is the change in direction of a wave
- 3. is the highest point in the wave
- 4. is the bending of waves around an object
- 8. is the human perception of the frequency of sound
- 10. repeated echoes
- 11. waves that can travel through matter and empty space, includes radio waves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays
- 14. a mechanical wave that causes particles matter to move at right angles to the direction the wave travels
- 15. is the places where the coils are spread apart
- 19. is the lowest point in the wave
