Waves & Sound Energy
Across
- 3. wave Wave that requires a medium through which to travel
- 4. Distance between two corresponding parts of a wave
- 5. Sound waves with frequencies above 20,000 Hz
- 6. Highest part of a transverse wave.
- 10. wave Wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels
- 13. Small, tightly stretched, drumlike membrane in the ear.
- 16. A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place
- 17. The use of reflected sound waves to determine distances or to locate objects.
- 19. A repeated back-and-forth or up-and-down motion.
- 20. The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.
- 21. A point of zero amplitude on a standing wave
Down
- 1. Maximum distance the particles of a medium move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through the medium
- 2. Part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are far apart.
- 7. Bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle
- 8. wave Wave that appears to stand in one place.
- 9. The study of how sounds interact with each other and the environment
- 11. Combination of a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave that travels along the surface of a medium.
- 12. Number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time
- 14. canal Narrow region leading from the outside of the human ear to the eardrum.
- 15. Unit used to compare the loudness of different sounds
- 18. Two folds of tissue that make up the human voice box
