  8. 20. the highest level or greatest degree.
  9. 22. a physical property that causes matter to experience a force within an electromagnetic field.
  10. 23. the ability of a quantum system to be in multiple states at the same time until it is measured.
  11. 24. the time it takes for the vibrating object to make one cycle or oscillation and return to its original position.

  13. 27. a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atom except that of simple hydrogen.
  14. 28. the fact or phenomenon of light, radio waves, etc. being deflected in passing obliquely through the interface between one medium and another or through a medium of varying density.
  15. 29. a measurement of resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt (V) is applied to those points and a current of one ampere (A) is produced.
Down
  1. 1. The highest surface part of a wave is called the crest, and the lowest part is the trough.
  2. 2. materials which have a conductivity between conductors (generally metals) and nonconductors or insulators
