a type of wave that moves at a right angle, or perpendicular to, the direction in which the wave travels
what is a transverse wave
Ti
what is the abbreviation for titanium
a material that does not allow electricity to pass through it
what is an insulator
energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one from to another
what is the law of conservation of energy
a family of the periodic table that has both properties of a metal and nonmetal and tends to be semiconductors (conduct energy at high temperatures but not at low temperatures
