Across
- 3. form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than visible light but longer than X-rays
- 5. the distance between identical points, or adjacent crests, in the adjacent cycles of a waveform signal propagated in space or along a wire
- 7. the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths longer than visible
- 10. form of electromagnetic radiation with high energy and short wavelengths, typically shorter than ultraviolet rays but longer than gamma rays
- 11. material substance through which a wave or energy can propagate
- 12. light the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can detect, typically ranging from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers
- 13. the process where energy, usually in the form of electromagnetic radiation or waves, is transferred from a source to a medium, causing the medium to take up that energy and convert it into another form, often internal energy like heat
- 14. reduction in density or a region where particles in a medium are spread apart, often associated with the low-pressure area of a longitudinal wave
- 17. type of electromagnetic radiation with frequencies typically ranging from 1 gigahertz (GHz) to 1 terahertz (THz) and wavelengths between 1 millimeter (mm) and 1 meter (m
- 19. phenomenon where a system vibrates with greater amplitude when subjected to a force or disturbance at its natural frequency
- 20. the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than microwaves
- 21. the lowest point or minimum displacement of a wave
Down
- 1. the highest point or peak of a wave
- 2. the movement or passage of a wave, such as light or sound, through a medium
- 4. the number of times a repeating event, like a wave or vibration, occurs within a specific time period
- 6. state where opposing forces or influences are balanced, resulting in no net change in the system's state
- 8. form of electromagnetic radiation with the highest energy and shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
- 9. the physical interaction among electric charges, magnetic moments, and electromagnetic fields
- 14. the bending of light, sound, or other waves as they pass from one medium to another, or through layers of varying density in the same medium
- 15. the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.
- 16. The branch of physics that deals with the action of forces on matter
- 18. the act of squeezing or reducing the volume of an object by applying inward forces
- 19. branch of physics that studies the properties and behavior of radio waves, a form of electromagnetic radiation
