Waves
Across
- 4. what we see when no colors or light enter our eye
- 5. a quick back-and-forth movement
- 7. the type of visible light we see when all colors enter our eye at the same time
- 9. the rate (how often) something that repeats over and over
- 10. a substance or material (solid, liquid, gas)
- 11. how loud a sound is, which depends on the amplitude of its sound wave
- 13. the type of wave in which the movement of the wave's medium is perpendicular (up and down) to the direction the wave is moving
- 14. describes when an object takes in or soaks up certain waves of light
- 16. the high point of a wave
- 17. a high frequency/energy form of electromagnetic radiation that can be used to see through human skin and take pictures of bones
- 19. another name for a compression wave
- 21. when a wave changes direction or speed as it enters a new medium
- 22. the height of the peak/crest of a wave above the resting line
- 24. the name for any type of wave that can only travel through a medium (solid, liquid, gas)
- 26. the type of wave in which a wave's medium is compressed (squeezed) in the same direction as the movement of the wave
- 28. the length of one wave, can be measured as the distance from the center of one peak (crest) to the center of the next peak (crest)
- 29. the low point of a wave
- 30. the name for a particle of light or packet of light
Down
- 1. the of electromagnetic radiation with the highest energy and frequency, and shortest wavelength
- 2. the type of energy in movement/motion
- 3. a back and forth pattern of motion that transfers energy
- 6. when a wave bounces off an object
- 8. 2words a mathematical relationship where if one variable increases, the other decreases (example: frequency vs wavelength)
- 12. the name for any wave created by an earthquake
- 15. the type of light we can see
- 18. the type of light with a frequency just above what humans can see, but can cause sunburns and skin damage
- 20. the type of electromagnetic wave with the lowest energy and frequency, and the longest wavelength
- 23. the reflection of sound off a distant surface
- 25. the ability to do work
- 27. the highness or lowness of a sound, which depends on the frequency of its sound wave
