Wavelength-the distance, measured in the direction of propagation of a wave, between two successive points in the wave that are characterized by the same phase of oscillation.
Wave frequency-frequency refers to how many waves are made per time interval (this is usually described as how many waves are made per second or as cycles per second).
Wave height-the vertical distance between the crest and the preceding through of a wave.
Energy Transfer- is any process in which a system interacts with its surroundings in a way that the energy of the system increases or decreases while the surroundings decreases or increases by the same amount.
Convection- is transport of heat and moisture by the movement of a fluid.
Ex. Heat coming from a heater.
Conduction- is the transfer of heat energy through a substance or from one substance to another by direct contact of atoms or molecules.
Ex. A game of pool where on moving ball strikes another causing the second one to move.
Radiation- is when heat transfers from one point to another.
Ex. When you feel heat from the sun light, irons, and toasters.
