Across
- 2. A wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation
- 8. describes how long the wave is
- 9. increase/decrease in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward/away from each other
- 13. travels in waves and spans a broad spectrum from very long radio waves to very short gamma rays
- 15. happens when two waves overlap in such a way that they combine to create a larger wave
Down
- 1. a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation
- 3. The change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed
- 4. spans a broad spectrum from very long radio waves to very short gamma rays
- 5. The distance a wave travels in a given amount of time
- 6. the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it
- 7. the spreading of waves around obstacles
- 10. the substance that transfers the energy, or light from one substance to another or from one place to another, or from one surface to another
- 11. occurs when waves come together so that they completely cancel each other out
- 12. The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time
- 14. the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation measured from the position of equilibrium
