The document is a crossword puzzle containing terms related to sound waves. Down clues include higher frequency standing wave (harmonics), sound waves crossing a boundary (refracted wave), the ratio of pressure change to volume change (bulk modulus), and the Doppler effect increasing frequency as an ambulance approaches. Across clues include beats from two waves of slightly different frequencies, sound diminishing with distance, the lowest standing wave (fundamental), Huygens' description of wave propagation, decibels as a unit of intensity, and standing waves produced by instruments.

1. Down
1. Higher frequency standing wave.
2. Sound waves that cross a boundary into a second
medium.
3. The ratio of the change in pressure divided by the
fractional change in volume.
4. The speed of a sound wave depends on the
properties of this.
5. Wave fronts that lie in planes parallel to each other.
7. Power per unit area.
9. A property shared by the relationships of a
displacement and change in pressure graphs of a
sound wave.
14. If an ambulance passes by you as you walk down
the street, you receive a higher frequency as it
approaches due to this effect.
Across
6. Listening to two waves with slightly different
frequencies and hearing the amplitude increasing and
decreasing.
8. The loudness of a sound from a point as you move
away from the source.
10. Lowest frequency standing wave.
11. Dutch scientist who described the propagation of a
wave by considering any point on a wave front to be a
source of a spherical waves.
12. Commonly used unit for logarithmic comparisons
of power or intensity.
13. Brass, woodwind, and stringed instruments
produce musical notes from this type of wave.
