Waves

2. clarity of detail in an image
6. rate of something that repeats over and over
9. a wave bends so much at the interface that it reflects back into the original medium
12. bouncing back of waves off an object
16. the height of the peaks above the resting line in a wave
17. process of changing the amplitude of a carrier wave to transmit information

1. wave's medium is compressed in the same direction as the movement of the wave
3. specifically designed transparent fiber that transmits light over long distances by total internal reflection
4. changing of a wave's speed and direction as it travels into a medium
5. data expressed as single digits, usually 0 and 1
7. wave's medium is perpendicular to the movement of the wave traveling through a medium
8. process of changing the frequency of a carrier wave to transmit information
10. range of all different wavelengths that can and cannot be seen by the human eye
11. wave that can only travel through a medium
13. length of one wave; the distance from one crest to the next
14. substance or material
15. one element of a digital picture
