Waves And Optics
Across
- 3. The bending of a wave as it enters a new medium at an angle.
- 4. A wave in which particles move parallel to the direction of the wave.
- 6. The time it takes for one complete wave cycle to pass a point.
- 8. A disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space.
- 9. The number of wave cycles that pass a point in one second.
- 12. The maximum displacement from the rest position in a wave.
- 13. A wave in which the particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
- 14. A transparent object that refracts light rays to form an image.
- 15. The combination of two or more waves resulting in a new wave pattern.
Down
- 1. The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface it cannot pass through.
- 2. Type of interference where wave amplitudes add together.
- 5. The spreading out of waves when they pass through a opening or around obstacles.
- 7. A lens that is thicker in the center than at the edges and converges light rays.
- 10. Type of interference where wave amplitudes cancel each other out.
- 11. The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave.
