Waves & Motion

4. The number of cycles per second in HZ
8. The repeated portion of the motion
9. The material through which the disturbance is moving
10. Motion that goes in one direction
11. Waves that are capable of traveling through a vacuum
12. a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced
14. The bottom of a wave pattern
19. A loud explosive noise caused by a shock wave
21. A disturbance that is created by a vibrating object and subsequently travels through a medium from one location to another.
22. longitudinal and transverse motions in the medium
23. The length of time for one cycle
24. A force that tries to return an object to equilibrium
25. The max. distance the motion moves from its center position
26. Any motion that is repetitive
28. When two waves interact while traveling along an object
29. When one object vibrating naturally interacts with a second object vibrating unnaturally
30. When a wave is not confined to a given space along the medium.

1. When a wave encounters an object and it spreads waves around it
2. A disturbance that travels through a medium
3. The peak of a wave pattern
5. A wave changes direction as it passes through an object
6. The separation of visible light into its different colors.
7. A wave that encounters an object and bounces off of it
13. All visible colors
15. A narrow band of wavelengths by which humans can see
16. A strong pressure wave in any elastic medium such as air, water, or a solid substance
17. An upward shift of frequency that produces a moving source of waves
18. Chemicals that are capable of selectively absorbing one or more frequency of white light
20. The mix of ROYGBIV--or all colors.
27. A wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation
