Bouncing of light waves off a surface | Reflection |
Heat transfer from touching surfaces | Conduction |
Heat transfer from a gas or liquid | Convection |
Heat transfer from space | Radiation |
Distance from the top of one wave to the top of another wave | Wavelength |
The highness or lowness of a sound as determined by it's frequency | Pitch |
The number of times a sound waves vibrates in 1 second | Frequency |

Why do we see the color red? | The color reflects off the object and absorbs all other colors. |
Why does a pencil look bent in water? | The light bends in water because the water slows down the speed of light. |
