Across
- 3. how many cycles in one second
- 6. one repetition of the motion
- 7. the phenomenon of increased amplitude that occurs when the frequency of an applied periodic force is equal or close to a natural frequency of the system on which it acts
- 9. are common and can range from the head on a bobble-head doll to water molecules that oscillate in a microwave oven.
- 10. at a speed of approximately 3.00 x 108 m/s or 186,000 miles/sec.
- 12. refers to various phenomena that occur when a wave encounters an obstacle or opening.
- 14. the maximum distance or angle the motion moves from its center position
- 17. the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium
- 18. the shortest distance between two points that are “in phase”
- 19. time for one cycle
- 20. a disturbance that propagates through a material medium or space
- 21. the maximum displacement of a particle of the medium from the rest or equilibrium position
Down
- 1. has a cycle that repeats. The electrocardiogram in the figure below shows a repeating cycle.
- 2. the speed of the wave
- 4. The displacement of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
- 5. the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source.
- 8. the 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
- 11. The displacement of the particles of the medium is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
- 13. a phenomenon in which two waves combine by adding their displacement together at every single point in space and time, to form a resultant wave of greater, lower, or the same amplitude
- 15. energy is needed to create a disturbance in an elastic medium
- 16. travel through free
