Waves

8. The bending of a wave as it enters a new medium at an angle, and changes speed.
9. The maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position, related to the wave's energy.
10. The full range of electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays.
12. Energy that travels through space at the speed of light in the form of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
13. When a wave bounces off a surface that it cannot pass through.
14. The material (solid, liquid, or gas) through which a mechanical wave travels.

1. The change in frequency of a wave as its source moves relative to an observer.
2. Type of interference that occurs when waves combine to create a wave with a larger amplitude.
3. The bending or spreading of waves as they move around a barrier or through an opening.
4. The number of wave cycles that pass a specific point in a given amount of time.
5. A wave where the particles move parallel to the direction of the wave's travel (like sound).
6. Speed The distance a wave travels in a given amount of time, calculated as wavelength times frequency.
7. The distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave.
11. A wave where the particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's travel.
15. Type of interference that occurs when waves combine to create a wave with a smaller amplitude.
