Unit 3 Light Crossword Puzzle

An emission spectrum that consists of a continuum of wavelengths.
A spectrum of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a source
A spectrum of electromagnetic radiation transmitted through a substance, showing dark lines or bands due to absorption of specific wavelengths.
An opaque object that emits thermal radiation.
An objective comparative measure of hot or cold.
Energy that spontaneously passes between a system and its surroundings in some way other than through work or the transfer of matter.
The number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time.
An increase (or decrease) in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward (or away from) each other.
The branch of science concerned with the investigation and measurement of spectra produced when matter interacts with or emits electromagnetic radiation.
The lowest temperature that is theoretically possible
The process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
The movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.
The emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization
The distance between successive crests of a wave
Can be characterized by either the frequency or wavelength of their oscillations, which determines their position in the electromagnetic spectrum
The bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different
States that the black body radiation curve for different temperatures peaks at a wavelength inversely proportional to the temperature.
It is defined such that the triple point of water is exactly 273.16 K.
A scale and unit of measurement for temperature
A temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724
Measure of its change over a single period
Refers to visible light
Top of wave in wavelength
Bottom of wave in wavelength
A condition that is not limited to a specific set of values but can vary infinitely within a continuum.
3.0*10^8
A physical constant that is the quantum of action, central in quantum mechanics.
