The electromagnetic spectrum

2. A form of electromagnetic radiation with very short wavelengths that can penetrate most substances and are used in medical imaging.
3. Changed from one form to another; in this context, it refers to the transformation of absorbed energy into heat.
4. The basic units of matter that consist of a nucleus surrounded by electrons, forming all elements.
6. The emission and propagation of energy in the form of waves or particles, including light and heat.
8. High-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted by radioactive materials, with the shortest wavelength and highest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum.
10. The basic structural and functional units of living organisms, which can be affected by radiation.
11. Any substance that has mass and occupies space, consisting of atoms and molecules.
15. Energy that travels through space in waves and includes visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays.

1. A type of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than visible light but longer than X-rays, often responsible for causing sunburn.
5. Harm or injury caused to living tissues, often resulting from exposure to harmful radiation.
7. The energy associated with the temperature of an object, which is related to the motion of its particles.
9. Taken in or soaked up, particularly when energy is captured by matter.
12. Relating to heat; in this context, it refers to energy associated with the temperature of matter.
13. The process of converting an atom or molecule into an ion by gaining or losing electrons, often due to energy absorption.
14. The distance between successive peaks of a wave, which determines its type of electromagnetic radiation.
