Across
- 3. a type of interference that occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction.
- 7. a type of interference that occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction.
- 8. the time it takes something to happen
- 9. a wave or signal whose frequency is an integral (whole number) multiple of the frequency of the same reference signal or wave.
- 10. the minimum or lowest point in a cycle.
- 11. property of certain electromagnetic radiations in which the direction and magnitude of the vibrating electric field are related in a specified way.
- 14. amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.
- 15. a vibration of a system in which some particular points remain fixed while others between them vibrate with the maximum amplitude.
Down
- 1. a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
- 2. the rate at which something occurs or is repeated over a particular period of time or in a given sample.
- 3. the slight bending of light as it passes around the edge of an object.
- 4. the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it.
- 5. a disturbance that moves energy from one place to another
- 6. the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave.
- 12. the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed.
- 13. forming a necessary base or core; of central importance.
