Across
- 5. the shortest distance between equivalent points on a continuous wave; is usually measured in meters, centimeters, or nanometers
- 6. includes all forms of electromagnetic radiation; the types of radiation differ in their frequencies and wavelengths
- 8. the capacity to do work or produce heat; exists as potential energy and kinetic energy
- 10. the height of a wave from the origin to a crest or vice versa
- 11. the energy levels contained within a principal energy level
- 12. the number of waves that pass a given point per second
- 14. a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another in a regular and organized way
Down
- 1. the lowest allowable energy state of an atom
- 2. a three-dimensional region around the nucleus of an atom that describes an electron's probable location
- 3. a phenomenon in which photoelectrons are emitted from a metal's surface when a light of certain frequency shines on the surface
- 4. a particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum energy
- 7. electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye
- 9. when an electron temporarily occupies an energy state greater than its ground state
- 13. the minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom
