Waves & Electricity
Across
- 1. the ___________ frequency is the lowest possible frequency in a standing wave
- 3. a type of wave that requires a medium
- 7. a point in a standing wave of maximum displacement (either the top or bottom of the wave)
- 10. a state of being when the net force acting on a charge or object is zero
- 11. a point in a standing wave of zero displacement (on the equilibrium point)
- 14. a type of wave whose particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave
- 15. a material in which charges cannot move freely
- 16. a type of wave whose particles vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the wave
Down
- 2. the negatively charged subatomic particle
- 4. a material in which charges move freely
- 5. the time it takes to complete one wave cycle
- 6. the distance a wave travels in one cycle
- 8. the positively charged subatomic particle
- 9. the number of wave cycles per second
- 12. charging a conductor by bringing it near a charged object and then grounding it
- 13. the shift in charges that results in one side of a molecule being more positive than the other
