Across
- 2. The point on a wave with the greatest positive value or upward displacement within a cycle.
- 3. A natural or artificial process that emits a visible electromagnetic radiation.
- 6. The point on the medium that exhibits the maximum amount of negative or downward displacement from the rest position.
- 8. The repeated or regular way in which something happens or is done.
- 10. It is the line perpendicular to the boundary passing through the point of incidence.
- 14. The way in which the energy of a photon is taken up by matter, typically by the electrons of an atom, transforming that into internal energy.
- 15. A change in the observed frequency of a wave.
- 16. It's the change of direction of a ray or a wave after bumping into a barrier or a surface.
- 18. It's the magnitude, thus a scalar quantity, of the rate of change of an object's position.
- 19. It's space devoid of matter.
- 20. The electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Down
- 1. It is a transparent optical element with flat and polished surfaces and it is mostly used to disperse light.
- 4. An attribute of things that result from the light they reflect, transmit or emit in so far as this light causes a visual sensation that depends on its wavelenght.
- 5. The distance travelled by a wave in a specified context.
- 7. Imaginary surface representing corresponding points of a wave that vibrates in unison.
- 9. To be permeable to electromagnetic radiations of specified frequences as to visible light or radio waves.
- 11. It refers to the maximum displacement of a particle of a medium from its rest position when a wave passes through it.
- 12. Reflection of waves or particles from a surface such that the incident rays on the surface are scattered at many angles rather than at just one angle.
- 13. Line that marks the limits or edges of something and separates it from other things or places. So it is a dividing line between mediums.
- 17. A small breach on a surface; if its size is equatable with the wavelength of a wave which is passing through, it might give rise to a diffraction.
