Across
- 4. a region within a magnetic material which has uniform magnetization
- 6. the mirror-like reflection of light from a surface, in which light from a single incoming direction is reflected into a single outgoing direction
- 8. a dimensionless number that describes how light, or any other radiation, propagates through that medium
- 10. a wave that propagates as an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.
- 11. has light reflecting off of it
- 14. a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
- 15. emits light
- 16. a material or device that conducts or transmits heat, electricity, or sound, especially when regarded in terms of its capacity to do this.
- 17. the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection
- 19. the observation that many metals emit electrons when light shines upon them
- 23. the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts
- 24. the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated
- 25. a sharp division, as of a population or group, into opposing factions
- 26. the degree to which a substance or device opposes the passage of an electric current
Down
- 1. a flow of electricity which results from the ordered directional movement of electrically charged particles.
- 2. the postulate of wave mechanics that a particle of mass m moving at a velocity v will have the properties of a wave of wavelength h / mv
- 3. a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts.
- 5. the production of an electromotive force across a conductor when it is exposed to a varying magnetic field
- 7. a length or portion of time
- 9. the change in direction of a wave due to a change in its transmission medium.
- 12. a substance or device that does not readily conduct electricity.
- 13. the process or result of joining two or more things together to form a single entity
- 18. the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance is proportional to that distance
- 20. a region around a charged particle or object within which a force would be exerted on other charged particles or objects.
- 21. is a variable force that gives rise to an equilibrium in a physical system
- 22. the rate at which something occurs or is repeated over a particular period of time or in a given sample.
