waves
Across
- 1. The sensation of a frequency
- 4. what makes a particular musical sound different from another, even when they have the same pitch and loudness
- 7. the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed
- 8. the number of crests of a wave that move past a given point in a given unit of time
- 11. wave a wave produced by the acceleration of an electric charge and propagated by the periodic variation of intensities of, usually, perpendicular electric and magnetic fields
- 12. a fixed relationship between the phases of waves in a beam of radiation of a single frequency
- 13. the change in direction of a wave front at an interface between two different media so that the wave front returns into the medium from which it originated
- 16. the separation of white light into a color spectrum by a prism
- 17. Angle the angle of incidence that provides an angle of refraction of 90-degrees
- 18. Internal reflection a phenomenon which occurs when a propagating wave strikes a medium boundary at an angle larger than a particular critical angle with respect to the normal to the surface
- 19. A substance that makes possible the transfer of energy from one location to another, especially through waves
- 20. of Reflection the angle that a ray of light or the like, reflected from a surface, makes with a normal to the surface at the point of reflection
- 22. lowest point of a wave
Down
- 2. the highest point of a wave
- 3. Harmonic Motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement and acts in the direction opposite to that of displacement.
- 5. a unit used to measure the intensity of a sound or the power level of an electrical signal by comparing it with a given level on a logarithmic scale
- 6. The distance between one peaks of a wave to the next corresponding peak
- 9. the reduction of an item's density, the opposite of compression
- 10. the rate at which energy flows through a unit area perpendicular to the direction of wave motion
- 13. power is the ability of an imaging device to separate points of an object that are located at a small angular distance or it is the power of an optical instrument to separate far away objects that are close
- 14. image an image from which rays of reflected or refracted light appear to diverge, as from an image seen in a plane mirror
- 15. difference the difference in path traversed by the two waves, measured in terms of wavelength of the associated wave
- 21. A device that produces a very narrow, highly concentrated beam of light
