- 7. A set of frequencies of electromagnetic waves given off by an atom of an element consists of a series of fine lines of individual colors.
- 9. The number of waves that pass a given point per second.
- 10. The lowest allowable energy state of an atom.
- 12. The height of a wave from the origin to a crest, or from the origin to a trough.
- 13. A physical phenomenom characterized by its frequency, wavelength, and amplitude.
- 14. The shortest distance between equivalent points on a continuous wave.
Down
- 1. The minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom.
- 3. The state of a system higher than that of the ground state.
- 4. A particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy.
