Across
- 2. When a wave comes into contact with a medium and “soaks up” the colors NOT being reflected
- 4. Waves of light at different frequencies producing different colorsWaves of light at different frequencies producing different colors
- 7. The number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time
- 10. a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow space
- 14. Waves where the particles are distributed perpendicular to the direction of the wave
- 16. The part in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together
- 20. the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed
- 21. Electromagnetic waves with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than microwaves
- 22. disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space
- 23. Waves where particles are disturbed back and forth parallel to (in the same direction as) the wave
- 24. The distance between any two corresponding points on a wave, such as from crest to crest or trough to trough
Down
- 1. The effect is the apparent change in frequency of a wave moving relative to an observer.
- 3. The highest point of a wave
- 5. A wave passes through a boundary from one medium to another
- 6. Electromagnetic waves with wavelengths longer than infrared but shorter than radio waves
- 8. The vertical distance (height) from its equilibrium point to its crest or trough
- 9. the return of light or sound waves from a surface
- 11. An electromagnetic wave of frequency used for long distance communication
- 12. A substance through witch a wave can travel.
- 13. Waves that travel through mataves that travel through matterter W
- 15. Waves of energy that provide us with the visible light spectrum (the colors we see)
- 17. Waves of energy made by vibrations
- 18. The area in a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart
- 19. The lowest part of a wave
