The distance from one point to the next corresponding point on a wave is called the ________________.

• waveform
• peak
• amplitude
• wavelength

The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time is...

• frequency

• wave speed

• amplitude

• wavelength

Prisms are

• the highest part of a wave

• repetition of a sound

• piece of glass or other transparent material

Why is the spectrum of light separated into its components of color when white light is directed to a prism?

• Because light reflects off the prism's surface

• The incident white light refracts and separates into its constituent colors

• The white light is absorbed by the prism, separating its colors

• The light speeds up as it moves from air into the denser plastic material
