Across
- 1. The matter in which a wave travels
- 5. Information is represented in a signal by
- 8. anything that can transmit information
- 10. a wave that travels through a medium due to the motion of matter
- 13. occurs when a wave travels across a boundary between media
- 14. A measure of how far a particle in the medium moves away from its normal rest position
- 15. occurs when the wave bounces off the boundary
- 16. The distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave pulse
Down
- 2. waves made of vibrating electric and magnetic fields
- 3. the conversion of a wave’s energy into other forms of energy in the medium in which the wave is traveling
- 4. a repeating disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another
- 6. any unwanted random signal
- 7. occurs when the path of a wave bends due to a change in wave speed
- 9. a signal that contains analog information
- 11. a signal that contains digital information
- 12. The number of wave pulses produced in a set amount of time
