Characteristics of Waves(Unit 6) Vocabulary Part 1 Crossword

A disturbance that carries energy from one place to another.
A substance or material which carries the wave from one place to another.
Waves that do not need a medium through which to travel.
When a source of energy causes a medium to move.
A wave that travels through a medium.
A wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction by which the wave moves.
The highest point(s) of a transverse wave
The lowest point(s) of a transverse wave.
A wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction by which the wave moves.
The area where a longitudinal wave is bunched up.
The area(s) where a wave is spaced out.
The distance between the peak of a wave and the rest position of the wave's medium.
The distance between identical points in successive parts of a wave.
The number of waves that pass an observer in a given amount of time.
The unit of frequency; how many waves are produced per second.
Waves that do not require a medium through which to travel.
Radiation in which electric and magnetic fields vary simultaneously.
A spectrum that represents the different forms of Electromagnetic Radiation.
The lowest frequency waves in the Electromagnetic Spectrum. These waves can be used to carry signals to receivers that subsequently translate these signals into usable information.
The second lowest frequency waves in the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
Located in the lower-middle range of frequencies in the Electromagnetic Spectrum, these waves include radiation emitted by fire, the sun, and other heat-producing objects.
The frequency range that lets you see the world around you.
Having even shorter wavelengths than visible light, these waves are the cause of sunburn and cancers in living organisms.
These extremely high-energy waves(with wavelengths not much longer than those of atoms) are emitted by sources producing very high temperatures.
Being both the highest frequency and highest energy Electromagnetic Waves, Gamma Rays are emitted by very energetic cosmic objects such a pulsars, neutron stars, supernovas, and black holes.
A material that will allow all of the light pointed at it t pass through it(E.g. air, water, clear glass, and saran wrap)
A material that will scatter very little light that it lets pass through so much that what is on the other side fails to be seen.
A material that will not allow any light to pass through it. Some of the light thrown at it is absorbed, and some is reflected.
A reflective mirror in which the reflective surface bulges towards the light source.
A mirror whose reflecting surface is curved inwards. Being curved inwards, it reflects/bounces back light rays in a manner which magnifies the object under examination
A device used to converge or diverge transmitted light and to form images.
Any lens with an inward curve towards its center.
How much potential a physical system has to change.
