Waves, Sound, and Light

5. a transparent object with at least one curved side that causes light to change direction
10. waves- a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels
11. is the transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels
12. a material through which light does not pass through
14. lens- lens that is thicker in the middle than at the edges
15. max distance a wave moves from its rest position
18. allows most light through
19. is the passage of a wave through a medium

1. a material that allows almost all light through
2. the distance between one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
3. the bouncing of a wave off a surface
4. lens- lens that is thicker at the edges than in the middle
6. the change of the direction of a wave
7. waves- causes the particles in a medium to move parallel to the direction that the wave travels
8. mirrors- a smooth or highly polished surface that reflects light in order to form an image.
9. waves- a wave that only travels through matter
13. the number of time the pattern repeats in a given amount of time
16. a piece of glass or other transparent material cut with precise angles and plane faces, useful for analyzing and reflecting light.
17. a material in which a wave travels
