Waves

1. amount of energy carried by a wave
7. waves electric and magnetic waves released by a vibrating electric charge; capable of transferring energy through a vacuum
10. spectrum entire range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation
11. a rhythmic disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space
12. of reflection angle of incidence is always equal to angle of reflection
14. process where an object is made to vibrate at its natural frequency by absorbing the energy of another object vibrating at the same frequency
15. human perception of intensity
18. examples are MRI, WiFi, Radar
20. examples are vitamin D production, kill bacteria
22. examples are night vision goggles, remote controls
23. amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point
24. two or more waves combine to form a new wave
25. number of waves that pass a given point in one second

2. type of wave that transfers energy through a vacuum
3. when a wave strikes an object and goes into it
4. measure of energy passing through an area in a set amount of time
5. matter in the medium moves at right angles to the direction of the wave
6. examples are cooking, Doppler
8. related to frequency and will increase as frequency increases
9. matter through which a wave travels
13. the bending of waves caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium through another
16. when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it
17. matter in the medium travels back and forth in the same direction as the wave
19. travel fastest in a solid and or warmer mediums
21. when a wave strikes an object and bounces off it
