Conduction
the way heat is passed along by molecules of matter that bump into
one another
insulator
matter that does not conduct heat well
convection
the transfer of heat within a gas or a liquid by the movement of
warmer particles
vacuum
any place where there is no matter
radiation
energy that travels through waves
wavelength
the distance from the crest, of top of one wave to the crest of the
next one
amplitude
the height of a wave
frequency
the number of wave cycles that pass through a point in one second
reflection
the bouncing of light off an object
refraction
the bending of light rays as they pass from one substance into another
spectrum
the band of colors that make up white light
prism
a triangular shape, three dimensional object made of clear glass that
breaks up white light into its different colors
