Heat & Electricity Crossword
Across
- 2. The transfer of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) caused by the molecular movement of warmer, less dense material rising and cooler, denser material sinking.

- 12. The exchange of thermal energy between physical systems depending on the temperature and by means of heat transmission.
- 13. The emission of electromagnetic waves from all matter that has a temperature greater than absolute zero.
- 14. The spatial period of a periodic wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.
- 15. The form of energy associated with the random, disordered motion of molecules and transferred between systems due to a temperature difference.
