Electric Physics

5. spectrumThe range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays.
6. Mechanics A branch of physics that describes the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic level.
9. Circuit A miniaturized electronic circuit that contains multiple components, such as transistors and diodes, on a single chip.
12. A semiconductor device that amplifies or switches electronic signals.
14. The study of the interaction between electrically charged particles and electromagnetic fields.
16. field A region in space where a magnetic force is experienced by a magnetic object.
17. effect The generation of an electric current in a material upon exposure to light.
19. A central processing unit (CPU) that is contained on a single integrated circuit, used in computers and other electronic devices.
20. A medical imaging technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate images of internal body structures.

1. A quantum of electromagnetic radiation, having both particle and wave properties.
2. A material that has electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator, commonly used in electronic components.
3. A material that exhibits zero electrical resistance and expels magnetic fields at very low temperatures.
4. A state of matter in which gas is ionized and becomes conductive, often used in lighting and electronic applications.
7. gap The energy difference between the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band in a material, determining its electrical conductivity properties.
8. A device that emits a beam of coherent light through the process of stimulated emission.
10. radiation Energy that is propagated through space as a combination of electric and magnetic fields, including visible light, radio waves, and X-rays.
11. A type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than infrared radiation, used in telecommunications.
13. The study and application of materials and structures at the nanoscale level, often used in electronics and biomedical applications.
15. force The energy per unit charge that is imparted by a source, such as a battery, to a circuit.
18. An electronic component that allows current to flow in only one direction.
