Across
- 3. Is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave in a given interval of time.
- 8. A type of radiation that has both magnetic fields and electrical fields.
- 10. When two waves of identical wavelength are in phase, they form a new wave with an amplitude equal to the sum of their individual amplitudes.
- 11. The spreading of waves around obstacles.
- 13. The maximum displacement or distance moves by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.
- 14. Describes the changes in frequency of any kind of sound or light wave produced by a moving source with respect to an observer.
- 15. The entire range of wavelengths or frequencies of electromagnetic radiation extending from gamma rays to the longest radio waves and including visible light.
Down
- 1. Is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time.
- 2. Occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction.
- 4. Cause the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
- 5. Abrupt change in the direction of propagation of a wave that strikes the boundary between different mediums.
- 6. Is the distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next one.
- 7. Is a substance or material that carries the wave.
- 9. Wave consisting of a periodic disturbance or vibration that takes place in the same direction as the advance of the wave.
- 12. The change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed.
