Across
  1. 3. one color, light having the same wavelength
  2. 4. segment of a cycle in a longitude wave during its travel while the other segment is being compressed
  3. 5. angle which a ray is perpendicular to the surface or point of incidence
  4. 7. to throb or vibrate in a rhythm
  5. 9. how fast light travels through an object
  6. 10. increased amplitude occurring when the frequency and natural frequency is similar
  7. 15. point on a wave with minimum amplitude
  8. 16. equals the angle of incidence (ex: AoI = 45 degrees, LoR = 45 degrees)
  9. 17. repetitive variation of a measured value
  10. 20. when waves hit a corner , they bend around the obstacle
  11. 22. net response by two or more stimuli is the sum of the individual stimuli
  12. 24. a substance/material carry a wave or carrying it through
  13. 26. two waves making a greater, smaller, or zero slope wave (ex: x+y=z)
  14. 29. change in direction of a wavefront at an interface (like an angle)
  15. 31. wave with perpendicular oscillation to the direction
  16. 32. interference two waves are "180 degrees out of phase", positive wave is cancelled by the negative
  17. 33. decrease in volume by any substance
  18. 36. angle made by a ray off of a surface (perpendicular)
  19. 37. ratio of the sines of the angle of incidence and refraction of a wave are constant whilst passing through medias
  20. 38. the distance over which a wave repeats
  21. 39. pulsation caused by two waves combining with/at different frequencies
  22. 41. wave moving at constant speed
  23. 42. point that undergoes maximum displacement above and below the "rest position"
  24. 43. change in frequency because of an observer (ex: sound: closer you are, higher pitched things are)
Down
  1. 1. a wave which oscillates but its amplitude seems still
  2. 2. graphed value that follows a sine pattern
  3. 6. change in direction of a passing wave from one medium to another
  4. 8. range of frequencies of radiation and their wavelengths/photon energies (ex; wave chart on reference table)
  5. 11. ray of light that strikes a surface
  6. 12. process of a wave to transmit through a medium (ex: water, air)
  7. 13. location of points on a wave cycle
  8. 14. the geometrical orientation of the oscillations in transverse waves
  9. 18. when the reflection of waves or light is scattered
  10. 19. sensation of frequency (ex; tuning an instrument because its out of _____)
  11. 21. the maximum value of a wave from the x-axis
  12. 23. number of completed cycles
  13. 25. interference two waves passing through each other, amplitude equals the sum (ex: a+b = a+b)
  14. 27. mirror-like reflection of waves
  15. 28. displacement of the medium is the same direction as the wave
  16. 30. ray that represents light reflected by a surface
  17. 31. the minimum point of a wave's curve
  18. 34. a wave transferring energy; doesn't move far
  19. 35. the maximum point of a wave's curve
  20. 40. number of curves in a wavelength
