bending of waves around an object

Complete range of electromagnetic wave frequency and wavelengths

Waves that can travel through matter or empty space, includes radio wave, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays

Number of wavelengths that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz.

Electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between one thousand of a meter and 700 billionths of a meter

amount of energy a wave carries past a certain area each second

states that the angle the incoming wave makes with the normal to reflecting surface equals the angle the reflected wave makes with the surface

human perception of the frequency of sound

change in the direction of wave when it changes speed as it travels from one material to another

Mechanical wave that causes particles in matter to move at right angles to the direction the wave travels

repeated echo of sound waves

electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between about 400 billionths and 10 billionths of a meter

Disturbance that moves through matter and space and carries energy

distance between one point on a wave to the nearest point moving with the same speed and direction
