Across
- 3. one color, light having the same wavelength
- 4. segment of a cycle in a longitude wave during its travel while the other segment is being compressed
- 5. angle which a ray is perpendicular to the surface or point of incidence
- 7. to throb or vibrate in a rhythm
- 9. how fast light travels through an object
- 10. increased amplitude occurring when the frequency and natural frequency is similar
- 15. point on a wave with minimum amplitude
- 16. equals the angle of incidence (ex: AoI = 45 degrees, LoR = 45 degrees)
- 17. repetitive variation of a measured value
- 20. when waves hit a corner , they bend around the obstacle
- 22. net response by two or more stimuli is the sum of the individual stimuli
- 24. a substance/material carry a wave or carrying it through
- 26. two waves making a greater, smaller, or zero slope wave (ex: x+y=z)
- 29. change in direction of a wavefront at an interface (like an angle)
- 31. wave with perpendicular oscillation to the direction
- 32. interference two waves are "180 degrees out of phase", positive wave is cancelled by the negative

- 39. pulsation caused by two waves combining with/at different frequencies
- 41. wave moving at constant speed
- 42. point that undergoes maximum displacement above and below the "rest position"
- 43. change in frequency because of an observer (ex: sound: closer you are, higher pitched things are)
Down
- 1. a wave which oscillates but its amplitude seems still
- 2. graphed value that follows a sine pattern
- 6. change in direction of a passing wave from one medium to another
- 8. range of frequencies of radiation and their wavelengths/photon energies (ex; wave chart on reference table)
