Across
- 2. repeats as a function of both time and position and can be described by its amplitude
- 5. unit for expressing the ratio between two physical quantities
- 9. the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave
- 11. the point on the medium that exhibits the maximum amount of positive or upward displacement from the rest position
- 12. the effect produced by a moving source of waves
- 14. a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave
- 17. is a type of energy made by vibration
- 19. the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed
- 20. decrease in volume of any object or substance resulting from applied stress
Down
- 1. electromagnetic radiations in which the direction and magnitude of the vibrating electric field are related in a specified way wavespeed is the speed at which a wave travels
- 3. abrupt change in the direction of propagation of a wave that strikes the boundary between different mediums
- 4. equals the number of cycles per second
- 6. The sensation of a frequency is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound
- 7. the reduction of an item's density, the opposite of compression
- 8. when one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces that second object into vibration motion
- 10. the SI unit of length or distance
- 13. attribute of a sound that determines the magnitude of the auditory sensation
- 15. electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye
- 16. the Standard International ( SI ) unit of time
- 18. the time required for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point
