Waves and EM spectrum
Across
- 2. the maximum distance the wave moves from its rest position
- 7. the wave used in TV remotes
- 9. the wave with the longest wavelength in the EM spectrum
- 12. the range of electromagnetic radiation/waves
- 15. the distance a wave travels in a given amount of time
- 16. a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another but not matter
- 18. the lowest point in a transverse wave
- 19. when particles in a longitudinal wave a farthest apart
- 20. the number of wavelengths that pass a certain point per second
Down
- 1. the highest point in a transverse wave
- 3. the wave that causes sunburns
- 4. when particles in a longitudinal wave are closest together
- 5. waves that are helpful in communication
- 6. waves that can penetrate soft tissue, like skin and muscles
- 8. a wave that can only travel through matter
- 10. the only EM wave we can see
- 11. the shortest waves on the EM spectrum, often used in medical treatment
- 13. distance from one point on a wave to another
- 14. a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels
- 17. a wave that makes particles in a medium move parallel to the direction of the waves
