Across
- 2. Unit of measurement for frequency of a wave
- 4. EM radiation who's energy can pass through most objects except bone and lead
- 6. The height of a wave measured from rest to crest
- 9. EM radiation with relatively short wavelength used by remote controls and night vision equipment.
- 11. Spectrum All the EM waves organized by wavelength and frequency
- 13. What is the name for the highest point of wave
- 14. Therapy Cancer treatment that uses gamma waves to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells
- 15. Wave EM radiation with shortest wavelength and highest energy
- 17. Light Only part of EM spectrum that the human eye can see
- 18. A disturbance or variation that transfers energy
- 19. What is the name of the bottom or lowest point of wave
- 20. Wave EM radiation with longest wavelength and lowest energy used for communication like cell phones, wifi, TV, radio, and GPS
- 21. Optic Technology that sends information by transmitting light through a glass or plastic fiber
Down
- 1. Sterilization Disinfects surfaces by exposure to UV radiation
- 3. distance between crest to crest or trough to trough
- 5. The number of waves that pass a given point in a specified amount of time
- 7. Waves Type of wave in which the particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction in which the energy travels
- 8. Wave Radiation energy propagated by variations in electric and magnetic field intensity.
- 10. Form of EM radiation with long wavelength, low energy used for cooking, doppler weather forecasting, and radar
- 12. A measurable quantity that describes how much change can occur within a system
- 16. Substance that a wave travels through such as solid liquid or gas, but some waves can pass through a vacuum
- 18. Technology To communicate by sending data from transmitter to receiver
