Across
  1. 2. electromagnetic waves with wavelengths shorter than ultraviolet rays, but longer than gamma rays
  2. 6. type of wave where the particles of the medium move up and down or side to side, perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling
  3. 7. All of the frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation
  4. 9. The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
  5. 13. The particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels.
