Across
- 3. The number of times a wave repeats itself in a given period, typically measured in Hertz (Hz).
- 7. he highest-energy electromagnetic radiation, with very short wavelengths, often produced by radioactive materials and certain astronomical processes.
- 8. The bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another, due to a change in its speed.
- 9. The the process in which another particle or object absorbs the energy carried by a wave
- 11. The height of a wave from its resting position to its peak, which is related to the energy carried by the wave.
- 12. A type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than visible light, known for its ability to cause sunburns.
Down
- 1. A disturbance that transfers energy.
- 2. The range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
- 4. A type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than microwaves, often associated with heat.
- 5. The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface that it cannot pass through.
- 6. The distance between consecutive peaks (or troughs) of a wave, usually measured in meters.
- 10. A form of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength, commonly used in medical imaging to view the inside of the body.
