Across
- 2. the superposition of waves, causing an increase or decrease in the amplitude of the resulting wave
- 4. 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
- 5. the maximum displacement of points on a wave
- 8. a material that moves energy or light from one substance to another, or from one location to another, or from one surface to another
- 10. a point on a surface wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum
- 12. the perceptual quality of a sound that allows us to classify it as "high" or "low."
- 13. propagates along the interface between differing media
- 15. the measured distance between two identical points on two back-to-back waves.
Down
- 1. the spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects
- 3. the complete range of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays
- 6. waves where the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as the direction of the travelling wave
- 7. the number of waves that pass a given point in one second
- 9. a wave that transmits energy through a medium, like air, water, or a solid, by causing the particles within the medium to oscillate or vibrate around their equilibrium position
- 11. tthe superposition of waves, causing an increase or decrease in the amplitude of the resulting wavehe lowest point of a wave
- 14. the change in the direction of a wave passing from one medium to another
