Across
- 3. the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it
- 4. describes the changes in frequency of any kind of sound or light wave produced by a moving source with respect to an observer
- 5. waves a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation
- 6. distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement of a wave
- 8. the range of wavelengths or frequencies over which electromagnetic radiation extends
- 10. some examples of this include,the spread of colors in a rainbow, and sunset
- 14. the fact or phenomenon of light, radio waves, etc. being deflected in passing obliquely through the interface between one medium and another or through a medium of varying density
- 15. when two waves overlap in such a way that they cancel each other out
Down
- 1. distance between corresponding points of two consecutive waves
- 2. when two waves overlap in such a way that they create a larger wave
- 7. a material that moves energy or light from one substance to another, or from one location to another, or from one surface to another
- 9. a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation
- 11. a kind of radiation including visible light, radio waves, gamma rays, and X-rays, in which electric and magnetic fields vary simultaneously
- 12. the distance a wave travels in a given amount of time
- 13. how often something occurs, or basically, how often a wave occurs
