Across
- 6. The distance of a wave from height to trough, closely related to the amount of energy in a wave
- 7. when waves bounces back off of a surface
- 8. compressional waves detected by the human ear
- 9. The length of a wave from trough to trough or crest to crest
- 10. The opposite of the crest in a wave is the ______
- 12. The high point in a transverse wave
- 14. A wave that travels through a medium/travels through matter
- 17. light visible to the human eye; wavelength and frequency determine color
- 19. A mechanical wave that travels through matter in the same direction of the flow of energy
- 20. The highest frequency wave on this scale is a gamma wave
- 21. The point in a compressional wave where the matter is most closely packed
- 23. A rainbow occurs when _____ occurs through a drop of water
- 24. the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is detectable by the human eye
- 27. A wave where the matter flows in a direction parallel to the flow of energy
- 28. how high or low a sound is
Down
- 1. The matter through which a wave travels
- 2. The loudness of a sound as perceived by the human ear. A higher amplitude is a louder sound.
- 3. The transfer of energy through the vibration of particles
- 4. You can hear sounds around corners because of
- 5. a black shirt on a bright summer ____ light waves
- 6. a medium that waves travel the slowest through
- 11. The point in a compressional wave where the matter is most spread out
- 13. waves travel the fastest through this of matter (medium)
- 15. Waves that do not require a medium (matter) to pass through and move through electromagnetic particles
- 16. how many crests/troughs cross a certain point in a minute
- 18. a medium that waves travel slightly faster through than gases but slower than solids
- 22. a car makes a high sound until it passes you and then makes a low sound
- 25. The strength to do action or perform something, transferred through waves and closely related to amplitude.
- 26. the sun give off _____
- 27. a object that light passes through completely
