    This document defines key terms related to waves, including how waves emit, reflect, refract, scatter, and absorb. It distinguishes between electromagnetic waves, which can travel through empty space, and mechanical waves, which require a medium like a solid, liquid, or gas. Pitch and loudness are also defined as properties of sound waves related to frequency and audibility.

    Waves (set 2)

    Emit: to send out from a source

    Reflect: to bounce back off of an object that it can not move through

    Refract: to bend when traveling through two different substances

    Scatter: to change the energy or the direction of travel

    Absorption: the transfer of light energy to particles of matter

    Pitch: the measure of how high or low a sound is depending on the


    frequency

    Loudness: the extent to which a sound can be heard

    Electromagnetic Waves: waves that are able to travel through empty


    space

    Mechanical Waves: waves that need a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to


    travel
