Waves Module

2. the range of EM waves from radio waves to gamma rays.
5. EM wave that is used in remote controls and heaters.
7. a wave type that does not require a medium to travel- can travel through empty space.
9. the transfer of light energy to an object.
11. a wave typ e that occurs on top of a liquid like water waves - combination of longitudinal and transverse waves.
13. a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another.
14. a wave type that requires a medium to travel.
15. a location where there is noting, not even air - outer space.
16. EM wave that causes sunburns and has higher energy and frequency than visible light.
17. light bending as it passes between two different media causing the wave to change speeds and directions.
19. the distance between two wave crests.

1. matter that allows light to pass through
3. a type of wave that the particles of the wave vibrate perpendicular to the energy movement.
4. a type of wave that the particles of the wave vibrate parallel to the energy movement.
6. the height of a wave.
8. matter through which the light can not pass through.
10. light bouncing off a surface that it does not go through.
11. the spreading of light waves in all directions.
12. matter that transmits light but that does not transmit an image.
18. the number of waves that pass in a given amount of time.
