Across
- 4. a moving wave where oscillations occur perpendicularly, or at right angles, to the direction of energy transfer.
- 5. a top, highest point, or ridge—such as on a wave
- 9. a type of non-ionizing radiation emitted by the sun and artificial sources with wavelengths of 10–400 nanometers, higher in frequency than visible light
- 10. distance a wave travels in a given amount of time, representing how quickly energy or a specific point on the wave moves through a medium
Down
- 1. the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media, causing it to return to its original medium, typically for light, sound, or water waves
- 2. spectrum the entire range of light radiation, spanning from long-wavelength/low-frequency radio waves to short-wavelength/high-frequency gamma rays
- 3. a disturbance that transfers energy through space or a medium without moving the particles of that medium along with it
- 6. the bending of light or other waves as they pass obliquely from one, medium to another, caused by a change in speed
- 7. the maximum displacement or distance a wave travels from its equilibrium position
- 8. the spatial period of a wave, measured as the distance between identical points on consecutive waves
