wave unit puzzle
Across
- 2. an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength between 1 millimeter and 30,000 meters, or a frequency between 10 kilohertz and 300,000 megahertz.
- 4. Water waves are surface waves, a mixture of longitudinal and transverse waves.
- 5. seismic wave, vibration generated by an earthquake, explosion, or similar energetic source and propagated within the Earth or along its surface.
- 9. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light,Unlike light, however, x-rays have higher energy and can pass through most objects, including the body.
- 12. the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time
- 13. a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
- 14. the time that it takes to do something
- 15. a decrease in the density of something. “a sound wave causes periodic rarefactions in its medium”
- 16. Gamma photons are the most energetic photons in the electromagnetic spectrum.
- 19. a disturbance that travels through a medium, transporting energy from one location (its source) to another location without transporting matter
- 21. a region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum where wavelengths range from about 700 nanometers (nm) to 1 millimeter (mm).
Down
- 1. a longitudinal wave (such as a sound wave) propagated by the elastic compression of the medium
- 3. is the pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium
- 6. Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated
- 7. waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field
- 8. the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave.
- 10. the point on the medium that exhibits the maximum amount of negative or downward displacement from the rest position.
- 11. (UV) radiation is defined as that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between x rays and visible light
- 17. Microwave is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from about one meter to one millimeter corresponding to frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz respectively
- 18. the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position
- 20. the point on the medium that exhibits the maximum amount of positive or upward displacement from the rest position.
