Across
- 1. The number of full waves that pass in a given time
- 4. half the vertical distance from the crest to the trough
- 6. the change of direction of a wave when it hits a boundary
- 8. the transfer of energy from a wave to a medium
- 11. If the vibrational energy of a light wave is passed through the object, then the object appears clear
- 13. the spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects
- 14. the principle that when two or more waves overlap in space, the resulting disturbance is equal to the algebraic sum of the individual disturbances
Down
- 2. the bending of waves as it passes from one medium to another
- 3. measurement from crest to crest or from trough to trough
- 5. The motion of the particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave
- 7. The particles in a medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave
- 9. If an object allows some frequencies of visible light to pass through, but not others
- 10. The materials that do not allow transmission of light waves
- 11. Lowest point of a wave
- 12. Highest point of a wave
