Waves Investigation

Electromagnetic Wave

• the range of all different electromagnetic wavelengths

• a wave of electricity and magnetism that can either travel through a medium or empty space

• a pattern of wavelengths that can identify different kinds of light

• a tool that can separate light into its different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation

Reflected

• the place where two different media meet

• a beam reflected off a surface (bounce)

• to soak up or take in to (buried)

• the changing of a wave's speed and direction as it travels into a different medium (bend)
