the part of a light wave where 2 wavelengths separate
the direction a sound wave travels
the part of a sound wave where a compression occurs
is the separation of a sound wave in between 2 compressions.
13

blowing air into them
plucking them
16
Wax paper, tissue paper, and gelatin are examples of materials that... light.
reflect light
are translucent
absorb light
are transparent
