Across
- 3. The bending of a wave as it passes from one medium into another medium
- 8. The number of waves that pass a point within one second
- 12. Electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies
- 13. Electromagnetic waves that have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than radiowaves
- 14. Electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies
- 15. The height of a wave from its resting point to its crest
- 17. A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion
- 18. A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place
- 19. A wave that consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, which radiate outward at the speed of light
- 20. A wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave
Down
- 1. The ability of light to pass through a medium
- 2. Electromagnetic waves that have have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than light waves, also known as heat waves.
- 4. The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass
- 5. A change in sound frequency caused by a moving sound source
- 6. A wave that requires a medium through which to travel
- 7. A wave that occurs at the surface between two mediums and the particles move in a circular motion
- 9. Electromagnetic waves small enough to pass through soft tissue but not bone tissue
- 10. Electromagnetic waves that we can see
- 11. The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave
- 16. Electromagnetic waves that have frequencies slight higher than visible light waves and can damage skin
