| Amplitude | the distance between a wave's mid-point and its crest or tough |
| Convex Mirror | mirror whose center section curves toward an object |
| Concave Mirror | Mirror whose center section curves away from an object |
| Photon | a bundle that is released when an atom loses some energy |
| Frequency | the number of waves(crests or tough) that pass a point in a given time |
| Transverse Wave | a wave in which the crests and troughs move at right angles to the direction of the wave's travel |
| Refraction | the bending of a light wave as its moves from one material to another |
| Focal Point | which light rays meet when reflected or refracted |
| laser light | light of a single wavelength with all the waves lined up |
| opaque | not allow light to pass through |
| transparent | allows light to pass through so that objects on the other side can be seen |
| compressional wave | wave in which matter vibrates in the same direction as the energy waves through it |
| intensity | measure of the amount of energy in a wave |
| sonar | which uses sound waves to measure distance |
| music | sound with regular wave patterns |
| noise | no regular wave pattern |
| octave | sequence in which the top note has twice the frequency of the bottom note |
