Across
- 2. Cover a wide range of waves in the EM spectrum and have some of the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies.
- 6. The emission of energy in the form of EM waves.
- 11. A material that gives substance color by absorbing some color and reflecting others.
- 13. Matter that transmits lights but also scatters light as it passes through the matter.
- 17. The entire range of EM waves.
- 19. A wave interaction that occurs when two waves overlap.
- 20. The transfer of energy carried by light waves to particles of matter.
- 22. When light or any other wave bounces off an object.
- 23. The abbreviation of Amplitude Modulation
- 25. Waves emitted by the sun that are absorbed by the skin causing the particles in your skin to vibrate faster and your temperature to rise.
- 26. The release of light energy by particles of matter that has absorbed energy.
- 27. This is the range of colors seen by the eyes. A way to remember the order is an acronym ROYGBIV. When all these colors are combined you see white light.
Down
- 1. have higher frequencies, shorter wavelengths, and carry more energy than radio waves.
- 3. a wave that can travel through space and matter as consists of changing electric and magnetic fields.
- 4. The bending of waves as it passes at an angle from one medium to another.
- 5. States that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
- 7. interference When waves interference and have a smaller amplitude than individual waves.
- 8. Matter through which visible light is easily transmitted.
- 9. The falling of a beam of light non a surface.
- 10. a tiny packet of light energy.
- 12. The bending of waves around barriers or through openings.
- 14. The passing of light through matter.
- 15. Another EM wave produced by the sun that has higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths then visible light therefore they carry more energy.
- 16. of light the idea that light can act as either particles or waves.
- 18. interference When waves interfere and have a higher amplitude.
- 21. Have some of the highest frequencies and shortest wavelengths of all EM waves. They aslo carry a great deal of energy.
- 24. A very narrow range of wavelengths and frequencies that the human eye can see. These waves are seen as different colors by the eyes the highest being red and the lowest violet.
