Across
- 5. The distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement of the wave.
- 7. The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time.
- 9. consists of a repeating pattern of compressions and rarefactions.
- 10. The distance between identical points in a wave.
- 12. A kind of radiation including visible light, radio waves, gamma rays, and Xrays, in which electric and magnetic fields vary simultaneously.
- 13. The substance that transfers the energy, or light from one substance to another substance or from one place to another, or from one surface to another.
- 14. The speed at which a wave travels.
- 15. The spreading of waves as they pass through or around an obstacle.
Down
- 1. The change in the direction of a wavefront at the interface between two different media, bouncing the wavefront back into the original medium.
- 2. happens when two waves overlap in such a way that they combine to create a larger wave.
- 3. The change in wave frequency during the relative motion between a wave source and its observer.
- 4. The change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed.
- 6. A wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
- 8. travels in waves and spans a broad spectrum from very long radio waves to very short gamma rays.
- 11. occurs when waves come together so that they completely cancel each other out.
