Waves and Electricity Vocabulary
Across
- 2. A phenomenon that occurs when a wave or object bounces off an interface or another object
- 4. How fast a wave is moving
- 7. The type of wave where the particles move only perpendicular to the wave direction
- 8. The SI unit of electrical resistance in a circuit transmitting a current of one ampere when subjected to a potential difference of one volt
- 10. A measure of the amount of electric charge in motion per unit of time
- 11. A particle of electric charge that is negative and found in all atoms and is the primary carrier in solids
- 13. A disturbance or vibration that transfers energy progressively from one point to another in a medium
- 14. an electric current that is uni-directional, so the flow of charge is always in the same direction

- 18. The force that counteracts the flow of a current
- 21. A phenomenon that occurs when a wave changes direction as a result in wave speed at different points along a wave front
