Wavelength - distance from any point on one wave to the same point on the next wave, Amplitude - amount of energy in a wave, Crest - highest point of a wave, Trough - lowest point of a wave, ROY G BIV - the order of light from the longest wavelength (red) to the shortest wavelength (violet), Rainbow - A glass prism refracts (bends) white light into its individual colors as the colors refract at different angles the visible spectrum is formed creating a, Red - the longest wavelength with the least amount of energy, Violet - the shortest wavelength with the most energy, Refraction - bending of light - this happens when a light source travels from one medium (air) to another medium (water), Reflection - light bounces back; light hitting a mirror, Transparent - MOST light passes through, Translucent - SOME light passes through, Opaque - NO light passes through, Transparent materials include - clear glass, clear plastic wrap, water and air, Translucent materials include - wax paper, frosted glass, thin fabrics and thin paper, Opaque materials include - metal, wood and bricks, Transverse - light energy travels in ________ waves because the energy is moving perpendicular to the wave itself, Radiant energy - visible light is this because it can be seen and can interact in different ways when it contacts an object,
