Wave Properties

4. motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance
6. A wave in which the particles of the medium move in the same direction as the wave itself is moving
8. matter such as a liquid, gas or solid,that mechanical waves carry energy through
11. occurs when waves come together so that they completely cancel each other out
13. number of cycles per second in Hz
14. an increase or decrease in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward or away from each other.
15. n electric and magnetic disturbance traveling through space at the speed of light

1. the range of all types of EM radiation.
2. when light bounces off an object
3. happens when two waves overlap in such a way that they combine to create a larger wave
5. the size or strength of a cycle
7. The distance between any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave.
9. the distance a wave travels in a given amount of time
10. the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed
12. the spreading of waves around obstacles
