  1. 2. The rate at which wave cycles pass a specific point per second, influencing the energy and type of electromagnetic radiation.
  2. 4. The measurement from the equilibrium line to the peak or trough of a wave, directly correlating to the energy of the wave and its intensity.
  3. 6. A form of electromagnetic radiation with a higher frequency than visible light, leading to biological effects like sunburn.
  4. 10. This term refers to the distance between corresponding points of two consecutive wave cycles, crucial in determining wave behavior like energy and color.
  5. 12. The emission or transmission of energy through space or a material in the form of waves, particularly electromagnetic, without the need for direct contact.
  6. 13. This type of energy increases as the motion of particles becomes more rapid, directly proportional to temperature changes in a substance.
  7. 14. A narrow band of electromagnetic radiation detectable by the human eye, representing a tiny fraction of the full spectrum.
  8. 15. The circular motion of fluid that transfers heat by moving warmer, less dense material upwards and cooler, denser material downwards.
Down
  1. 1. This occurs when light waves strike a surface and bounce back without passing through or being absorbed, a property often seen with shiny or metallic objects.
  2. 3. The point of maximum positive displacement in a wave, opposite to the trough, marking the highest energy point in a wave cycle.
  3. 4. The process by which a material takes in light energy, often converting it into thermal energy, resulting in the material's temperature increase.
  4. 5. A spectrum that includes waves capable of traveling through a vacuum, ranging from gamma rays to radio waves, all sharing the speed of light.
  5. 7. The lowest point in a wave cycle, representing the maximum displacement in the negative direction from the equilibrium.
  6. 8. A type of heat transfer where energy is transmitted through direct molecular collisions, predominantly seen in solids.
  7. 9. A type of electromagnetic radiation felt as heat, positioned just beyond visible light on the spectrum, with longer wavelengths than red light.
  8. 11. The process where light or other waves pass through a medium without being absorbed, often influenced by the material’s transparency.
