Across
- 2. A wave that moves in the same direction as the direction in which the particles are vibrating e.g. sound waves
- 6. Describes how high or low a sound is and it depends on how fast or slow an object is vibrating
- 9. When light bounces off an object
- 10. An absence of light. If light cannot get through an object, the surface on the other side of that will have less light reaching it
- 12. The angle at which the light enters
- 14. It is curved outwards like the surface of a sphere
- 15. The transfer of energy in a motion that is perpendicular to the direction the wave is travelling e.g. radio and light waves
- 16. An energy source that travels in waves, and we can see these wavelengths of light in different colours
Down
- 1. The bending of light as it passes from one transparent substance into another
- 3. The distance from the centre line (or the still position) to the top of a crest (the top most part of a wave)
- 4. The number of waves that pass a given point in one second, measured in Hertz
- 5. A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another in a regular and organised way
- 7. A force that can cause things to move or the ability to do work e.g. potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear
- 8. A shape that curves inward or is hollowed out
- 11. The distance between a point on one wave and the same point on the next wave
- 13. Type of energy made by vibrations as an acoustic wave through a medium such as a gas, liquid or solid
