Across
  1. 3. The distance between successive crests of a wave
  2. 6. the lowest point below the rest position
  3. 11. the linear velocity of an object moving around a circular path at any point
  4. 13. An optical device that works by refraction to bend light
  5. 14. uses dispersion to separate white colors into its colors
  6. 17. Also known as an electron orbit
  7. 18. an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other
  8. 22. All light visible and invisible
  9. 24. The angle formed by the normal line and the refracted ray
  10. 25. the occurrence of a vibrating object causing another object to vibrate a higher amplitude
  11. 26. a fundamental property of matter that quantifies an object's resistance to acceleration, essentially measuring the amount of "stuff" it contains.
  12. 28. A single particle or packet of light
  13. 30. the force or speed of an object in motion
  14. 31. a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.
Down
  1. 1. a propagating disturbance, typically of energy, that travels through a medium or even a vacuum, moving from one place to another without transporting matter.
  2. 2. Ray Leaving
  3. 4. a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
  4. 5. Ray bending because of a speed change
  5. 7. A wave that can travel through a vacuum
  6. 8. Ray coming in
  7. 9. the time it takes for the vibrating object to make one cycle
  8. 10. a type of wave in which the medium's vibration is parallel to the direction of the wave, and the medium's displacement is in the same direction as that of the wave movement
  9. 12. rate at which velocity changes with time, in terms of both speed and direction
  10. 15. a smooth surface that reflects almost all incident light
  11. 16. the highest point or peak of the wave's displacement
  12. 19. the position of maximum displacement in a standing wave system.
  13. 20. The rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave
  14. 21. a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimum amplitude
  15. 23. the point where light rays converge or appear to diverge from after passing through a lens or reflecting off a mirror
  16. 27. The angle between the incidence ray and the normal line
  17. 29. an imaginary line drawn perpendicular to a surface at a given point, typically used to define the angles of incidence and reflection when light interacts with that surface
