Across
- 6. an observed change in the frequency of a wave when the source or observer is moving
- 7. the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave
- 9. in physics, the time that it takes to complete a cycle or wave oscillation to occur
- 11. waves that cause the particles in a medium to vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's motion
- 13. The matter through which a wave travels
- 14. the combination of two or more waves that result in a single wave
- 15. a pattern of vibration that stimulates a wave that is standing still
- 16. a superposition of two or more waves that produces an intensity equal to the difference of the intensities of the individual waves
- 17. the number of cycles or vibrations per unit of time
- 18. the bending of a wave front as the wave front passes between two substances in which the speed of the wave differs
Down
- 1. the bouncing back of a ray of light, sound, or heat when the ray hits a surface that it does not go through
- 2. a wave that consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields which radiate outward at the speed of light
- 3. waves that require a medium
- 4. the maximum distance that the particles of a wave's medium vibrate from their rest position
- 5. a superposition of two or more waves that produces an intensity equal to the sum of the intensities of the individual waves
- 8. low points of transverse waves
- 10. waves in which the motion of the particles is perpendicular to the motion of the wave
- 12. a change in the direction of a wave when the wave finds an obstacle or an edge
- 19. high points of transverse waves
