- 23. a clear object that bends white light to separate it into the colors of the rainbow
- 24. a transverse wave that involves the transfer of electric and magnetic energy
- 27. a repeated back-and-forth or up-and-down motion
- 30. these waves are used to send WiFi signals, phone calls, and text messages since they can pass through walls and reach inside buildings.

- 32. three colors that can combine to make any other color
- 37. an area where the coils are spread out
- 38. Energy of the wave passes through the medium.
- 42. a wave that vibrates the medium in the same direction in which the wave travels
- 43. how much matter or mass there is in a given amount of space or volume
- 45. amplitude is the __________ of the wave
- 47. the maximum distance the medium vibrates from the rest position
- 49. when two colors that when combined form white light
- 51. the light that passes through a polarizing filter
- 53. have a wavelength shorter than UV light and can pass through our body but get absorbed by our bones
- 54. the longer the wavelength, the __________ energy the wave has
- 55. waves transport _______, not matter, from place to place
Down
- 2. longitudinal waves vibrate in the __________ __________ that the wave travels
- 3. an area where the coils are close together
- 6. a disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave
- 8. a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves
- 10. a material that reflects or absorbs all of the light that strikes it
- 11. unit of measurement for frequency that is defined as the number of waves per second
- 12. transverse waves vibrate __________ to the direction that the wave travels
- 13. on the same spectrum as radio waves and microwaves; it just has a shorter wavelength
- 14. waves with more energy have __________ amplitudes
- 16. a wave that vibrates the medium at right angles, or perpendicular, to the direction in which the wave travels
- 21. these waves have the highest energy and are produced by radioactive materials
- 25. the material through which a wave travels
- 26. the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave
- 28. the change in frequency of a wave as its source moves in relation to an observer
- 29. these waves are used to heat up food due to the specific wavelength will cause water molecules in the food to vibrate faster and heat up.
- 33. the amount of energy a sound wave carries per second through a unit of area
- 34. waves hitting matter and bouncing off
- 35. the shorter the wavelength, the __________ energy the wave has
- 36. a disturbance involving the transfer of energy from place to place
- 39. a high point on a transverse wave
- 40. a description of how high or low the sound seems
- 41. waves with less energy have __________ amplitudes
