Wave Properties

5. the substance or material through which a wave travels
6. the measure of a wave's maximum displacement from its rest position.
7. the range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, organized by wavelength or frequency.
8. two waves meet in such a way that their amplitudes add together
10. particles in the medium moving parallel to the wave's direction of travel.
11. particles moving at right angles to the wave's direction.
13. how often a wave's cycle repeats in a given time
14. the rate at which a wave travels through a medium.
15. distance between two consecutive points on a wave that are in phase

1. a wave bending around an obstacle or spreads out after passing through a narrow opening.
2. describes how the frequency of a wave changes based on the motion of its source or observer.
3. consists of waves of electric and magnetic fields oscillating perpendicular to each other and to the direction of travel.
4. two waves meet in such a way that their amplitudes cancel each other out.
9. a wave changing direction as it passes from one medium to another
12. a wave bouncing back after hitting a surface or boundary
