  • What is a reflection?
    The return of waves from a surface.
  • What is a medium?
    Any matter that waves move trough.
  • What is energy?
    The ability to do work. waves carry energy from one place to another.
  • What is the wavelength?
    The distance between two corresponding points on a wave.
  • What is a frequency?
    The number of times something repeats within a fixed period,such as as number of cycles per second.
  • What is the visible spectrum?
    The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that makes it possible to see. it contains red, orange, yellow,green , blue,indigo and violet light
  • What is amplitude?
    The height of wave from rest to crest, or from rest to trough.
  • What is a crest?
    The highest point of a wave.
  • What is opaque?
    The property of blocking all light. Light shining on a opaque object creates a shadow.
  • What is a trough?
    The lowest point of a wave.
  • What does Transparent mean?
    The property of letting almost all light to pass through. You can see through a transparent object.
  • What does Translucent mean?
    The property of letting some light pass through. you can not see completely through a Translucent object.
