Waves
Across
- 3. the bending of a wave as it moves around a obstacle or passes through a narrow opening.
- 6. the bending of a wave as it enters a new medium at an angle
- 10. the complete number of cycles in a given time
- 11. the lowest point of a wave below the rest position
- 12. the maximum displacement of the medium from its rest position
- 14. when two or more waves combine to produce a wave with a smaller displacement.
- 15. an are where the particles in a medium are spaced close together
- 16. when two or more waves overlap and combing together
- 19. the distance between a point on one wave and the same pint on the next cycle of the wave
Down
- 1. material through which waves travel
- 2. when two or more waves combine to produce a wave with a large displacement
- 4. a wave in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels
- 5. an area where the particles in a medium are spread out
- 7. a wave that causes the medium to vibrate at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels
- 8. occurs when a wave bounces off a surface that it cannot pass through
- 9. a wave that travels along a surface separating two media
- 13. carries matter from one place to another
- 17. the highest point of a wave above the rest position
- 18. the time required for one cycle
