Across
- 2. The spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects.
- 6. The number of waves that pass a point in a certain period of time.
- 7. The maximum displacement of points on a wave.
- 10. A wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
- 12. Spectrum- The range of wavelengths or frequencies over which electromagnetic radiation extends.
- 13. The interference of two or more waves of equal frequency and phase.
- 14. The substance that transfers the energy or light from one substance to another.
Down
- 1. The sum of two waves can be less than either wave, alone, and can even be zero.
- 3. the change of direction of propagation of a wave when it meets a boundary.
- 4. The bending of waves as it passes from one medium to another.
- 5. speed-The distance the wave travels in a given amount of time,
- 8. A wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
- 9. radiation-A wave of electric and magnetic fields propagating at the speed of light c through empty space.
- 11. Effect- the increase (or decrease) in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move towards (or away from) each other.
