________________1. Refers to the separation of white light into its component colors.
________________2. The process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between
neighboring molecules.
________________3. An early scientific instrument that is used to detect the presence and magnitude of
electric charge on a body.
________________4. A safety measure used to help prevent people from accidentally coming in contact
with electrical hazards.
________________5. Is the energy which flows from one body to another due to a temperature difference
between them.
________________6. A branch of physics that deals with the phenomena and properties of stationary or
slow-moving electric charges.
________________7.  Is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light
________________8. A phenomenon in which a vibrating system or external force drives another system
to oscillate with greater amplitude at a specific preferential frequency.
________________9. The distance between peaks (high points) of a wave.
________________10. This is the separation of white light into its component colors.
________________11. The bouncing back of a wave as it hits a surface.
________________12. The bending of waves around the edge or corner of a barrier.
________________13. The combination of two or more electromagnetic waveforms to form a resultant
wave in which the displacement is either reinforced or canceled.
________________14. The bending of waves due to a change in speed as it passes from one medium to
another medium of different density.
________________15. A numerical description of how far apart objects are.
________________16.  An astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object is temporarily
obscured, either by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it
and the viewer.
________________17. It states that, things that are negatively charged and things that are
positively charged pull on (attract) each other. This makes electrons and protons stick together to form
atoms. Things that have the same charge push each other away (they repel each other). 
________________18. The rate of change in the velocity of an object per unit time.
