constructive interference - when two waves arrive in step and add to make a bigger wave, destructive interference - when two waves arrive out of step and cancel out, amplitude - maximum height of a wave, wavelength - distance between two crests, frequency - number of waves per second, refraction - when waves change direction and speed when they travel into a different material, reflection - when waves bounce off a barrier, diffraction - when waves spread out through a gap, gamma - highest energy photon, radio - lowest energy photon, x ray - used to take pictures of bones inside the body, infrared - humans can detect this radiation as heat, visible light - used to see the world around us, ultraviolet - causes sun tanning, wave speed - frequency x wavelength, microwaves - causes water molecules to vibrate and heat up food,
