Amplitude | The distance between the highest crest and the resting position. |
Barrier | Something that blocks the way an obstacle. |
Bend | To turn of force from straight or even to curved or angular. |
brightness | The lightness or darkness of reflected light intensity of light. |
Color | What you see when light shines reflect or en emits off an object. |

Sound waves | A vibration or wave that travels through matter solid liquid or gas and can be heard |
Transmit | To cause lie heat sound to pass through a medium |
Transparent | Allows lie to pass through |
Visible light spectrum | To portion electromagnetic spectrum that do human eye can view |
Wave | any disturbance that transfers energy from place to place |
Wavelength | The distance the way travels before it starts to repeat |
