Across
- 3. An image; representation; counterpart.
- 5. A disturbance on the surface of a liquid body, as the sea or a lake, in the form of a moving ridge or swell.
- 6. The change of direction of a ray of light, sound, heat, or the like, in passing obliquely from one medium into another in which its wave velocity is different.
- 8. waves A wave in which the direction of displacement is the same as the direction of propagation, as a sound wave.
- 9. wave The movement of light conceptualized as a wave, defined by such properties as reflection, refraction, and dispersion.
- 12. waves A wave in which the direction of displacement is perpendicular to the direction of propagation, as a surface wave of water.
- 14. An unusually large sea wave produced by a seaquake or undersea volcanic eruption.
Down
- 1. The highest part of a hill or mountain range.
- 2. wave A wave that propagates as an oscillation of matter.
- 4. The distance, measured in the direction of propagation of a wave, between two successive points in the wave that are characterized by the same phase of oscillation.
- 7. The ratio of the radiant flux transmitted through and emerging from a body to the total flux incident on it: equivalent to one minus the absorptance.
- 10. The removal of energy or particles from a beam by the medium through which the beam propagates.
- 11. A middle state or condition.
- 13. A wave of compression and rarefaction, by which sound is propagated in an elastic medium such as air.
