Clues

  • A wave that consists of particles which oscillate parallel to the direction of the propagation of the wave (12, 4)
  • Angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection (3, 2, 10)
  • Every point on the wavefront considered as a source of secondary wavelets which spread out with wave velocity; the new wavefront is the superposition of the wavelets (7, 12)
  • Forms a real image where the light rays meet (10, 4)
  • Frequency at which a standing wave is formed with one antinode (11, 9)
  • Ratio of the speed in medium 1 to speed in medium 2 (10, 5)
  • Same frequency and wavelength and maintain a constant phase relationship (8, 7)
  • Sonar, radar, ultrasound (5, 4, 10)
  • Transverse waves in which the oscillations occur in a single plane (5, 9, 5)
  • Waves which require a medium to travel through (10, 5)
