Across
- 2. an observed change in the frequency of a wave when the source or observer is moving
- 4. the lowest point in a wave
- 5. a pattern of vibration that simulates a wave that is standing still
- 7. the time it takes a complete cycle or wave oscillation to occur
- 9. a change in the direction of a wave when the wave finds an obstacle or an edge
- 10. the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave
- 13. the highest point of a wave
- 15. the combination of 2 or more waves that results in a single move
- 18. a wave that requires a medium through which to travel
Down
- 1. a superposition of 2 or more waves that produces an intensity equal to the difference of the intensities of the individual waves
- 3. a superposition of 2 or more waves that produces an intensity equal to the sum of the intensities of the individual waves
- 6. the max distance that the particles of a wave's medium vibrate from their rest position
- 8. is simply the bouncing back of a wave when it meets a surface or boundary
- 11. a wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling
- 12. a wave in which particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion
- 14. the bending of a wave front as the wave passes between 2 substances in which speed of the wave differs
- 16. a wave that consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields which radiate outward at the speed of light
- 17. a physical environment in which phenomena occurs
