Across
- 3. what waves transfer (NOT MATTER!!!)
- 4. the process that occurs when two waves meet at a point
- 6. maximum displacement from equilibrium
- 7. formula that states that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to the amount it is stretched
- 8. the process which occurs when waves entering a new medium change direction because they have changed speed
- 10. waves that need no medium for travel
- 12. small forces, applied at regular intervals, greatly increase the amplitude of a vibrating object's oscillations
- 13. variables that remain the same when a wave source is moving away from the detector
- 15. the bending of waves around a barrier or through an opening
- 16. value "k" that depends on a spring's stiffness
- 19. a single wave disturbance
- 20. distance between corresponding points of consecutive waves
Down
- 1. variables that change when a wave source is moving away from the detector
- 2. wave generated by repeated vibrations
- 5. the number of waves that pass a given point per second
- 9. wave that causes the particles of a medium to vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling
- 11. variable dependent on the medium a wave travels in
- 14. waves that require a medium for energy transfer
- 17. reciprocal of the frequency
- 18. line perpendicular to the boundary between two wave media
