Waves
Across
- 2. Bending of a wave caused by change in its speed as it travels from one medium to another.
- 3. Number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second.
- 5. Matter in the medium nove back and forth along the same direction that the wave travels.
- 7. Process by which an object is made to vibrate by absorbing energy at its natural frequencies.
- 10. More dense region of a longitudinal wave.
- 12. Particles in the medium move back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave travels.
- 13. Matter through which a wave travels.
- 15. Bending of a wave around an object.
- 16. Distance between one point on a wave and the nearest poit just like it.
- 18. Waves that can only travel through air.
- 19. Special type of wave pattern that forms when waves equal in wavelength and ampliture but travel in opposite directions continuously interfere with each other.
Down
- 1. The process of two or more waves overlapping and combining to form a new wave.
- 4. Made by vibrating electric charges.
- 6. High point of a transverse wave.
- 8. Locations where the interfering waves always cancel.
- 9. Amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point.
- 11. Less-dense region of a longitudinal wave.
- 12. Low point of a transverse wave.
- 14. Measure of the size of the disturbance from a wave.
- 17. A repeating disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space.
