Energy and Waves

1. The matter through which a wave moves.
4. The splitting of atoms that is how nuclear power plants work.
6. Energy that is caused by electrons in motion.
10. Interference that occurs when the crest parts of one wave overlap the trough of another, decreasing the amplitude.
12. Energy that a moving object possesses.
14. The type of EMR that have the shortest wavelength and highest energy.
15. The type of EMR that shows up as heat.
16. The stretched out areas in a longitudinal wave are called:
18. This occurs when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it.
20. The ability to do work or the ability to cause a change.
23. Type of wave that is light (radiant).
26. The place in a wave where the wave is lowest.
27. The type of EMR that causes sunburn.
28. This occurs when two or more waves overlap and combine to form a new wave.
32. Interference that occurs when the addition of two or more waves crests overlap, increasing the amplitude.
33. Wave type that travels from side to side, but the matter moves up and down.
35. There are this many types of electromagnetic waves.
36. This occurs when a wave bounces back from a surface towards the source.
37. Energy that is created by the movement of atoms.
38. Wave type where the matter moves back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels.

2. Potential energy that is stored by an object that can stretch or shrink.
3. Waves that can travel only through matter.
5. The bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another.
7. The type of EMR that have the longest wavelength and lowest energy.
8. Energy that is the splitting or combining of atoms.
9. Energy that travels in waves.
11. The SI (metric) unit of frequency.
13. The type of EMR that we can see.
17. The distance from the midpoint to the crest or trough.
19. The combining of atoms which is how the sun creates it’s energy.
21. Potential energy that is stored by objects that are above Earth’s surface.
22. The distance from the top of the crest (or trough) of a wave to the top of the following crest (or trough).
24. Stored energy due to it’s position.
25. The product of the net force acting on an object and the distance moved in the direction of the force.
29. The crowded areas in a longitudinal wave are called:
30. The number of waves passing the same point per time.
31. The place in a wave where the wave is highest.
34. Energy created or released by the forming or breaking of bonds.
