Across
- 3. (wave) two waves of the same frequency and amplitude travelling in opposite directions superimpose to create stationary regions of maximum and minimum displacement
- 4. the addition of overlapping waves in the same medium
- 7. the magnitude of an oscillation’s maximum value from the neutral point within a wave
- 11. the number of cycles completed per second
- 13. wave sources that create waves of the same frequency and constant phase difference in the same medium
- 14. the transmission of energy via oscillations from one location to another without the net transfer of matter
- 16. (wave) a wave that propagates through a medium, carrying energy from one location to another
- 17. the time taken to complete one cycle
Down
- 1. a wave in which the oscillations are parallel to the direction of wave travel and energy transmission
- 2. the distance covered by one complete wave cycle
- 5. difference: the difference in distance travelled by two waves from their sources to the same point
- 6. superposition creating a larger (constructive) or smaller (destructive) resultant wave
- 7. a point where constructive interference consistently occurs
- 8. a wave in which the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of wave travel and energy transmission
- 9. the spread of a wave around an obstacle or through an aperture
- 10. (frequency)the lowest frequency of a standing wave that will form in a given medium
- 12. a point where destructive interference consistently occurs
- 15. a hole, gap, or slit through which a wave travels
