light waves
Across
- 3. A form of electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light
- 6. Directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength
- 9. Generated by a transmitter and then detected by a receive
- 11. How long a wave is
- 12. The change of direction of propagation of a wave when it meets a boundary
- 13. The segment of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can view
- 14. The capacity or power to do work
- 15. A type of electromagnetic radiation that results from a redistribution of electric charge within a nucleus
- 16. Visible light has frequencies
- 17. The number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time
Down
- 1. Motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance
- 2. Formed when an electric field
- 4. A form of non-ionizing radiation that is emitted by the sun and artificial sources, such as tanning beds
- 5. Part of the electromagnetic spectrum
- 7. When light hits an object that is transparent or translucent
- 8. Light in which electromagnetic vibrations oscillate repeatedly in only one direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation
- 10. Disturbance in a medium that carries energy without a net movement of particles
