The distance between one peak of a wave in and the next peak

The height and reach peak or the depth of each trough

The rate of vibration of the wave, or the number of wavelengths within a specific time period

Occurs when light bounces off a material

Occurs when a material captures the energy of a light wave

Occurs when a wave travels through a material, like light through glass

Light waves interacting with each other by creating complex patterns of motion

Light waves interacting with small objects or openings by bending or scattering

Light waves change direction as they enter a new medium
