Across
- 1. when an electron absorbs a photon and jumps to an excited state
- 4. Lowest energy state of an atom
- 6. lowest energy waves on the electromagnetic spectrum
- 7. The height of the wave from the origin (middle) to the crest or trough
- 8. color with the shortest wavelength in the visible light spectrum
- 12. only waves visible to the human eye on the electromagnetic spectrum
- 14. When an atom has absorbed enough energy for an electron to jump to a higher energy level
- 15. the number of waves passing a given point per second.
- 16. the minimum amount of energy that is lost or gained by an electron
Down
