Across
- 2. Change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed
- 5. The superposition of waves, causing an increase or decrease in the amplitude of the resulting wave
- 7. Distance over which the wave's shape repeats
- 9. Application of power, pressure, or exertion against an object that causes it to become squeezed, squashed, or compacted
- 11. The time it takes for two successive crests to pass a specified point
- 12. The distance traveled by a given point on a wave in a given interval of time
- 13. Number of waves that pass a given point in one second
- 15. Waves in which the direction of propagation aligns with the direction of vibration of the medium
Down
- 1. Reduction of an item's density
- 3. Propagating dynamic disturbance of one or more quantities.
- 4. Motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance
- 6. Measurement of the amount of energy transferred by a wave
- 8. Lowest part of the wave
- 10. Highest part of the wave
- 14. Change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated
