Across
- 3. The maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position
- 6. waves where the particle motion is in the same direction in which the wave is propagating
- 7. the flow of energy in the form of the electric and magnetic fields that make up electromagnetic waves
- 9. the distance a wave travels in a given amount of time
- 10. the distance between identical points in the adjacent cycles of a waveform signal propagated in space or along a wire
- 11. the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed
- 12. When the maxima of two waves add together so that the amplitude of the resulting wave is equal to the sum of the individual amplitudes
- 13. When the maxima of two waves are 180 degrees out of phase
- 14. The apparent difference between the frequency at which sound or light waves leave a source
- 15. the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time
Down
- 1. the spreading of waves around obstacles
- 2. Any material substance which can propagate waves or energy
- 4. The entire distribution of electromagnetic radiation
- 5. a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation
- 8. abrupt change in the direction of propagation of a wave that strikes the boundary between different mediums
