wave properties

3. the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time.
4. the distance traveled by a given point on the wave in a given interval of time
8. the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed.
9. the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source.
11. a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
13. occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction.
14. regions of high pressure due to particles being close together
15. the spreading of waves around obstacles

1. term used by scientists to describe the entire range of light that exists
2. a substance or material that carries the wave.
5. the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.
6. 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
7. a kind of radiation including visible light, radio waves, gamma rays, and X-rays, in which electric and magnetic fields vary simultaneously
10. the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave.
12. abrupt change in the direction of propagation of a wave that strikes the boundary between different mediums
