Height of a wave.

Distance between corresponding parts of a wave.

Time required to complete one cycle of a wave.

Speed = distance/time or speed = frequency x wavelength.

Number of waves passing a point per second.

Energy.

Light that passes through matter.

Light taken in by a material.

Light that is bounced off an object's surface.

Light deflected from a straight path.

Used for medical diagnosis, automatic doors, animal communication, and sonar.

Areas where P+S waves cannot be detected.

Particles move perpendicular to wave direction.

Particles move in the same direction as the wave propagates.

Light waves and S waves (seismic waves).

Sound, ultrasound, and shock waves.

Colors refracted differently, separating into the spectrum.

Point white light at a prism to observe color dispersion.

Angle between the incident ray and the normal.

Ray coming from an object striking a surface.

Angle of light bouncing off a surface.

Light ray that bounces off a surface.

Sound travels in compressions and rarefactions.

Primary waves, longitudinal seismic waves.

Secondary waves, transverse seismic waves.

Range of colors produced by splitting white light.
