| Question | Answer |
| Energy | The ability to do work or cause change |
| Medium | Solid, liquid, or gas |
| Amplitude | The height of the wave |
| Wavelength | The distance between two successful wave crests |
|
Crest

Crest (binary/octet-stream)
|
The highest point of a wave |
|
Trough

Trough (binary/octet-stream)
|
The lowest point of the wave |
| Hertz | Measures frequency |
| Transverse Wave |
Image:
X (binary/octet-stream)
|
| Longitudinal Wave |

Xc (binary/octet-stream)
|
| Reflection | When light bounces off the surface |
|

Images (binary/octet-stream)
|
When different wavelengths of light appear to our eyes differently |
| Transmission | The moving of electromagnetic waves |
|
Refraction

|
The bending of a wave when it enters a medium |
|
Absorption

|
When matter captures electromagnetic radiation |
| What happens to when you shorten wavelength? | Energy Increases |
| What happens to energy when you lengthen wavelength? | Energy decreases |
| Does amplitude effect frequency? | No |
| What is the relationship between amplitude and energy | When energy increases, amplitude increases |
| Medium | Solid, liquid, or gas |
| What is a vacuum? | A space with no matter (like outer space) |
| We can see rainbows because.. | Light of different wavelengths is bent at different angles |
| The longest color wavelength | Red |
| The shortest color wavelength | Violet |
