Across
- 6. a wave bends so much at the interface that it reflects back into the original medium
- 8. the height of the peaks above the resting line in a wave
- 9. wave's medium is perpendicular to the movement of the wave traveling through a medium
- 11. length of one wave; the distance from one crest to the next
- 13. wave's medium is compressed in the same direction as the movement of the wave
- 14. clarity of detail in an image
- 16. changing of a wave's speed and direction as it travels into a medium
- 17. one element of a digital picture
Down
- 1. data expressed as single digits, usually 0 and 1
- 2. process of changing the amplitude of a carrier wave to transmit information
- 3. bouncing back of waves off an object
- 4. process of changing the frequency of a carrier wave to transmit information
- 5. range of all different wavelengths that can and cannot be seen by the human eye
- 7. specifically designed transparent fiber that transmits light over long distances by total internal reflection
- 10. wave that can only travel through a medium
- 12. rate of something that repeats over and over
- 15. substance or material
