Ch 22 Science Vocab
Across
- 4. the bending of a wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another.
- 5. the entire range of EM waves
- 8. states that the level of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
- 9. the passing of light through matter.
- 12. the light you are most familiar with
- 13. matter that does not transmit any light.
- 14. the very narrow range of wave lengths and frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see.
- 18. covers a wide range of waves in the EM spectrum.
- 20. if the reflecting surface is slightly rough light beams will hit the surface and reflect at many different angles.
- 23. the transfer of energy carried by light waves to particles of matter.
- 24. the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy.
- 28. when two primary colors are added together.
- 29. the falling of a beam of light on a surface.
- 30. occurs when light or any other waves bounces off an object.
- 31. a tiny “packet”of energy that is released by an electron that moves to a lower energy level in an atom.
Down
- 1. another type of electromagnetic wave produced by the sun.
- 2. the wave interaction that occurs when two or more waves overlap.
- 3. the bending of waves around barriers and through openings.
- 6. the resulting wave has a smaller amplitude than the original wave had.
- 7. if the reflecting surface is very smooth all light beams will reflect off of all the points of the surface at the same angle.
- 10. yellow,cyan,and magenta
- 11. shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than radio waves.
- 15. carry more information, and music broadcast’s better than AM.
- 16. a material that gives a substance it’s color.
- 17. the resulting wave has a greater amplitude than the individual waves had.
- 19. travel farther than FM waves
- 21. red, blue, and green.
- 22. matter through which visible light is on easily transmitted.
- 25. the range of colors.
- 26. waves emitted by the sun.
- 27. matter that transmits light but also scatters the light as it passes thorough matter,
