•Transmission: the passage of light through an object•Plastic, glass, paper.
•Reflection: Bouncing of a wave off a surface.•Colors, Mirror, Sound Waves•Law of reflection: the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.
• Refraction: The change in direction caused by the wave changing speed due to a change in medium.• The greater the change in speed the greater
the change in direction• Diffraction: change in direction as a wave
moves by the edge, around, or through an object.
