Across
- 2. when 2 waves overlap in such a way that they combine to create a larger wave
- 3. the complete range of all types of radiation that has both electric and magnetic fields and travels in waves
- 5. waves in which the direction of propagation aligns with the direction of vibration of the medium
- 7. the spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects
- 8. the increase or decrease of frequency of sound, light or other waves as the source and observer move towards or away from each other
- 9. the phenomenon of bouncing back of the rays of light when they fall on an obstacle
- 12. the distance a wave travels in a given amount of time
- 13. the bending of light or sound as it passes through something like a wall(sound) window (light)
- 14. the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave
- 15. the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time
Down
- 1. when 2 waves overlap in such a way that they cancel each other out
- 4. a material that moves energy or light from one substance to another, or from one location to another, or from one surface to another
- 6. a measurement of the amount of energy transferred by a wave
- 10. the transmission of energy through oscillating electric and magnetic fields at the speed of light
- 11. a wave vibrating at right angles to the directions of its propagation
