physic
Across
- 2. a current in a fluid that results from convection.
- 5. the reinforcement or prolongation of sound by reflection from a surface or by the synchronous vibration of a neighboring object.
- 6. the process by which sound waves travel through a medium.
- 8. Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapour
- 9. an object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation that falls on it at all frequencies over all angles of incidence.
- 10. (chiefly of pollution or environmental change) originating in human activity.
- 12. energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.
- 15. Molecular vibration can be considered to be like the motion of particles connected by springs.
- 17. the process in which electromagnetic radiation or particles are deflected or diffused.
- 18. any three-dimension species (e.g., a molecule) will have three degrees of rotational energy since it can rotation in the x, y and z axis
- 19. A gray body is an imperfect black body
- 20. an electron that is not attached to an atom or molecule and is free to respond to outside forces.
Down
- 1. movement that changes the position of an object, as opposed to rotation.
- 3. Gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat similar to the glass roof of a greenhouse.
- 4. the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.
- 7. having three atoms in the molecule.
- 11. the balance between incoming energy from the Sun and outgoing energy from the Earth.
- 13. the amount of energy received by a given area one astronomical unit away from the Sun
- 14. (of electromagnetic radiation) having a wavelength just greater than that of the red end of the visible light spectrum but less than that of microwaves. Infrared radiation has a wavelength from about 800 nm to 1 mm, and is emitted particularly by heated objects.
- 16. the frequency or rate that it vibrates naturally when disturbed.
