Across
- 1. doesn't require a medium to propagate
- 6. the way in which waves travel.
- 8. requires a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another.
- 11. the ability of a quantum system to be in multiple states at the same time until it is measured
- 12. the distance between successive crests of a wave
- 13. the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time
- 14. the changes in the frequency of any kind of sound or light wave produced by a moving source with respect to an observer.
- 17. the lowest point of a wave
- 19. vibration of large amplitude in a mechanical or electrical system
- 21. the highest point of a wave
Down
- 2. a periodic motion that repeats itself in a regular cycle
- 3. when two waves of identical wavelength are in phase, they form a new wave with an amplitude equal to the sum of their individual amplitudes
- 4. measure of how high or low something sounds
- 5. a type of wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave's advance.
- 7. a disturbance in a medium that carries energy without a net movement of particles.
- 9. the height of the wave
- 10. occurs when two waves cancel each other out
- 15. The time it takes for two successive crests (one wavelength) to pass a specified point.
- 16. a type of wave in which the motion of the individual particles of the medium is in a direction that is parallel to the direction of energy transport.
- 18. the substance that transfers the energy
- 20. a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimum amplitude
