- 9. a propagating dynamic disturbance (change from equilibrium) of one or more quantities.
- 12. a therapeutic technique that involves doing activities that “ground” or electrically reconnect you to the earth.
- 15. a branch of physics that deals with the phenomena and properties of stationary or slow-moving electric charges.
- 20. the highest level or greatest degree.
- 22. a physical property that causes matter to experience a force within an electromagnetic field.
- 23. the ability of a quantum system to be in multiple states at the same time until it is measured.
- 24. the time it takes for the vibrating object to make one cycle or oscillation and return to its original position.

- 27. a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atom except that of simple hydrogen.
- 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.
- 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. The highest surface part of a wave is called the crest, and the lowest part is the trough.
- 2. materials which have a conductivity between conductors (generally metals) and nonconductors or insulators
- 3. a negatively charged subatomic particle that can be either bound to an atom or free (not bound).

- 13. a passive electronic component that stores energy in the form of an electrostatic field.
- 14. the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such as illuminating a light.
- 16. the process for welcoming newly recruited employees and supporting them to adjust to their new roles and working environments
