Waves
Across
- 3. The perception of how high or low a sound is
- 4. This phenomenon occurs when a wave bounces off a surface
- 7. Sound waves reflect to produce
- 10. The perception of the amplitude of a sound wave
- 13. Type of wave in which the vibrations are at right angles to the direction of wave propagation
- 15. When waves interact, this principle is used to find their total displacement
- 16. This parameter of a wave does not change as the wave moves from one medium to another
- 17. A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place
- 18. These waves can travel in a vacuum
- 20. The point on a wave where maximum upward displacement from the rest position is exhibited
- 21. This type of interference will occur if two waves are in antiphase
- 25. These waves require a medium for their propagation
- 26. These electromagnetic waves have the shortest wavelength
- 29. These electromagnetic waves have the longest wavelength
- 30. This wave is caused by vibrations that are transmitted through matter and it is an example of a longitudinal wave
Down
- 1. These waves contain nodes and antinodes
- 2. Type of wave that transfers energy from a point source to the surrounding area
- 5. The distance between successive corresponding points on a wave
- 6. When this type of interference occurs the wave amplitude increases
- 8. The region of a medium through which a longitudinal wave is traveling that has the maximum density
- 9. A space void of matter
- 11. We hear sound from an adjacent room because of this phenomenon
- 12. Wave sources that have the same frequency and constant phase relationship
- 14. The change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed
- 16. The wave parameter that indicates the number of complete waves that pass a given point in unit time
- 19. The point on a wave where maximum downward displacement from the rest position is exhibited
- 22. The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are far apart
- 23. This wave parameter gives the distance travelled by a point on a wave in unit time
- 24. Type of wave in which the displacements are parallel to the direction of energy transfer
- 27. The maximum displacement from the rest position; gives an indication of the amount of energy transported by a wave
- 28. The time it takes for one cycle of a wave to travel
