| Question | Answer |
| Examples of transverse waves | - Electromagnetic waves - Water - S-type seismic waves |
| Examples of longitudinal waves | - Sound - Slinky (spring) - P-type seismic waves |
| Refraction | when waves change direction due to a change in medium |
| Reflection | when waves are bounced off a surface |
| Diffraction | When waves spread out when they hit an object or pass through a gap |
| If light goes from a less dense to more dense material, it will... | slow down and bend towards the normal |
| If light goes from more dense to a less dense material, it will... | speed up and bend away from the normal |
| Diffraction in relation to gap and wavelength | The smaller it is in comparison to the wavelength, the more diffraction there will be. |
