~ Moves slowly up and down
~ LIght Waves

Question 4

Amlitude

Answer 4

~ Measures the height of the wave from the crest (high point) or trough (low point) of the wave to the midline
*Higher amplitude = Higher energy

Question 5

Frequency

Answer 5

Number of wave cycles that are completed in one second
*Higher frequency = Higher energy

Question 6

Electromagnetic Spectrum

Answer 6

Light waves with different energies, wavelengths, and frequencies

Question 7

Answer 7

~ Light Waves humans can see
~ Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
(~ ROY G BIV~)

The bouncing back of a wave after it strikes a barrier or object

Question 10

Absorbtion

Answer 10

The process of taking in or soaking up energy carried by a light wave

Question 11

Refraction

Answer 11

The bending of a wave when it strikes a medium at an angle
