Waves Tic-Tac-Toe
Across
- 4. The material a mechanical wave moves through
- 9. Term applied to materials that allow light to pass through them in straight lines.
- 10. Waves A wave with vibration at right angles to the direction the wave is traveling.
- 12. How often a vibration occurs.
- 13. Addition of two or more waves when wave crest overlap to produce a resulting wave.
- 17. Spectrum A continuous range of waves
- 18. Bending of a wave around a barrier, such as an obstacle or the edges of an opening.
- 19. The unit of frequency.
Down
- 1. wave A wave in which vibration is in the same direction as that in which the wave is traveling,rather than to right angles to it.
- 2. Distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next one.
- 3. Distance from the midpoint of the crest of wave.
- 5. Combination of waves where crests of one wave overlap troughs of another; resulting in a wave of decreased amplitude.
- 6. The bouncing back of a particle or a wave that strikes the boundary between two medias.
- 7. differences two different, but closely related waves
- 8. When two waves meet they overlap and interact.
- 9. Allowing light, but not detailed images, to pass
- 11. waves Back and fourth vibration motion
- 14. A pattern formed by the overlapping of two or more waves that arrive in a region at the same time.
- 15. The aligning of vibrations in a transverse wave, usually by filtering out waves of other directions.
- 16. of reflection The angle of incidence for a wave that strikes surface is equal to the angle of reflection. This is true for both partially and totally reflected waves
