ICA 5 Intro to Waves

2. The property of a wave that allows it to bend around obstacles
10. The Isaac Newton of EM waves
15. A type of wave that does not require a medium for propagation
18. Particles of this wave are perpendicular to direction of wave motion
19. A change in frequency of a wave due to motion between source and observer
21. The simplest type of periodic motion

1. Einstein won the Noble price for this
3. A type of wave that requires a medium for propagation
4. A type of interference where waves add together to create a larger wave
5. Particles of this wave are parallel to direction of wave motion
6. The distance required for a wave to complete one cycle
7. All electromagnetic waves travel at this speed
8. A disturbance that moves through a medium or space
9. A type of interference where waves add together to create a smaller wave
11. Light amplification by stimulated emission
12. The time required for a wave to complete one cycle
13. The maximum displacement of a wave from equilibrium
14. The creation of a new wave when two or more waves occupy the same space at the same time
16. The number of cycles per second
17. Credited with the invention of radio, the polyphase motor and the first RC vehicle
20. When the natural frequencies of to vibrating objects are the same
