  1. 5. The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.
  2. 7. A wave that can travel through a vacuum without a medium, such as light waves.
  3. 8. Electromagnetic radiation of high energy and very short wavelength, which is able to pass through many materials opaque to light.
  4. 9. A wave that requires a medium (solid, liquid, gas) to travel through, such as sound waves.
  5. 10. The distance between two consecutive points of a wave that are in a phase, such as crest to crest or trough to trough.
  6. 11. A type of wave where the medium moves parallel to the direction of the wave.
  7. 13. The speed at which a wave travels through a medium, typically calculated as the wavelength multiplied by the frequency.
  8. 14. The highest point of a wave.
  9. 15. The lowest point of a wave.
  10. 16. Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than microwaves.

  1. 1. The range of all types of electromagnetic radiation from radio waves to gamma rays, arranged in order of their wavelengths or frequencies.
  2. 2. Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays.
  3. 3. The bending of waves around obstacles and the spreading out of waves as they pass through openings.
  4. 4. The number of complete waves that pass a certain point in a given amount of time, typically measured in hertz (Hz).
  5. 6. A type of wave where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
  6. 12. The combination of two or more waves that results in a new wave pattern.
  7. 17. The bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another medium.
  8. 18. The maximum distance a wave moves from its rest position. It indicates the energy carried by the wave.
