Waves Project

1. an electrical circuit in which current flows in more than one path at the same time
4. the condition of a system when neither its state of motion nor its internal energy state tends to change with time
7. the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position
8. An alteration or displacement of a region of a medium from its equilibrium state.
9. The conversion of one form of energy into another, or the movement of energy from one place to another.
10. is a vector quantity that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." Imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step
11. is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance
15. the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time; also, the number of cycles or vibrations undergone during one unit of time
16. a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
18. the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave.
19. the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.

2. a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
3. the capacity for doing work
5. The medium can change its shape when any deforming force is applied and later it comes back to its original shape when the deforming force is removed
6. also known as solar-terrestrial physics or space-plasma physics
12. the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle
13. Two distinct lines intersecting each other at 90° or a right angle
14. wave, propagation of disturbances from place to place in a regular and organized way. Most familiar are surface waves that travel on water,
17. is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position
