waves and energy
Across
- 2. the distance between a crest or trough of a wave and a line through the center of a wave
- 6. the bending of a wave as it crosses the boundary between two mediums at an angle other than 90 degrees
- 7. the highest point, or peak, of a wave
- 8. the number of wavelengths (or wave crests) that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time, usually one second
- 10. wave a type of wave in which the disturbance moves in the same direction that the wave travels
- 13. the meeting and combining of waves; the adding or subtracting or wave amplitudes that occurs as waves overlap
- 15. the bouncing back of a wave after it strikes a barrier
Down
- 1. a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without requiring matter to move the entire distance
- 3. wave a wave, such as a sound wave or an earthquake wave, that transfers energy through matter
- 4. wave a type of wave in which the disturbance moves at right angles, or perpendicular, to the direction in which the wave travels
- 5. the distance from one wave crest to the next crest, or from any part of one wave to the identical part on the next wave
- 9. the point where the wave crosses the rest position and appears not to move
- 11. the spreading out of waves as they pass through an opening or around the edges of an obstacle
- 12. the lowest point, or valley, of a wave
- 14. a substance through which a wave moves
