What is a medium?

• something between a small and a large?
• the substance through which a wave can travel
• a pattern of vibration that simulates when a wave is standing still
• the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave

Refraction occurs when waves enter a new ​ (a)   and change ​ (b)   .

What is the definition reflection?

• The bending of waves as they enter a new medium

• Bouncing back of waves from a surface that it can’t pass through

• The bending of waves as they pass through openings or around corners

• When two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction, two crests and two troughs overlap. Increased amplitude.

This is the term that describes when light passes through matter.

• Transmission

• Transparent

• Translucent

• Opaque
