Across
- 5. The combined effect of two or more waves overlapping.
- 7. The SI unit of frequency; one hertz (symbol Hz) equals one vibration per second.
- 8. Any bending of light by means other than reflection and refraction.
- 9. Description of materials that absorb light without reemission.
- 10. The distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next crest or, equivalently, the distance between successive identical parts of the wave.
Down
- 1. For a wave or a vibration, the maximum displacement on either side of the equilibrium (midpoint) position.
- 2. The separation of light into colors arranged by frequency.
- 3. A wave in which the medium vibrates in a direction parallel (longitudinal) to the direction in which the wave travels.
- 4. The returning of a wave to the medium from which it came when it hits a barrier.
- 6. The bending of waves due to a change in wave speed.
