Waves Crossword

5. the height of a wave measured from rest(middle) to the top of the crest or bottom of the trough of the wave;often used to describe volume of sound or intensity of light.
6. waves- a type of wave in which the particles oscillate(move) perpendicular to the direction in which the energy travels
11. measurable quantity that describes how much change can occur within a system
13. sterilization- disinfects surfaces by exposure to UV radiation wavelength by damaging genetic material of germs such as bacteria, virus, fungi
14. wave- EM radiation with longest wavelength and lowest energy used for communication like cell phones, wifi, TV, radio, and GPS
15. substance that a wave travels through such as solid liquid or gas, but not allow aves need a medium and can pass through a vacuum
16. the number of waves that pass a given point in a specified amount of time;the pitch of a sound or the color of light
18. top or highest point of wave
19. bottom or lowest point of wave

1. a disturbance or variation that transfers energy
2. a form of EM radiation with relatively short wavelength used by remote controls and its thermal effect for night vision equipment
3. wave- form of EM radiation with shortest wavelength, low energy used for cooking, Doppler weather forecasting, and radar
4. optic- internet technology that sends information by transmitting light through a glass or plastic fiber
7. wave- radiation energy propagated(caused) by variations in electric and magnetic field intensity.
8. distance between two waves from crest to crest or trough to trough
9. technology- communicate by sending data from transmitter to receiver, like wifi,air pods, cell phones using radio and infrared wavelengths
10. form of EM radiation with shorter wavelength whose energy can pass through most objects to show image of what's inside like for dental or bone x- rays
12. light- only part of EM spectrum that the human eye can see, all other wavelengths are either to short or to long for us to see
17. therapy- cancer treatment that used gamma waves to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells
