---|---|
absorption | the transfer of energy from a wave to a medium |
amplitude | the distence between the highties crest and the resting position |
barrier | something that bloks the way an obstcale. |
bend | to turn or fource from straight or evan to curved or angular. |
color | what ypu see when light shineneds off a obdject |
color filte | a transport materal that absorbs some colors and allows others to pass |
brite ness | the lightness or darkness of reflection light. |
echo | a repeted sound that is caused by the reflection of a sound wave from a surfous |
electromagnetic wave | aform of energy that can travel through empty spaces. |
frequency | the number of times a wave repets in a given amount of time. |
lens | a cured peice of glass or plastic desighed to refract light on a spisific way. |
loight wave | waves come from a light source |
matter | anything that has mass and takes up space. |

mirror | a reflecting surface. |
path | also know as trajectory; is the path an object follows in space. |
prism | a piece of glass or transparent material that bends light. |
propagate | the way waves travel or move. |
proportion | something changes with regard to something else. |
ray | the movment of light frome its source to a surfus or object. |
ray diagram | shows how light travels , including what happens when it reches a surfus |
reflection | waves bouncing off a medium. |
refraction or reflekded | the bending of waves due to a change in speed |
sound wave | a vibration or wave that travels through matter and can be heard |
transmit | to cause light heat sound and more to pass through a medium |
transparent | allows light to pass through |
visible light spectrume | the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can view |
wave | any distubance that trancfers energy from place to place |
wave lenght | the distence the wave travels before it starts to repeat |
