PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Hertz is the SI unit of wave frequency,where 1 hertz = 1 wave passing a fixed point per second.

Reflection- bouncing back of waves from a barrier they cannot pass through is called reflection

Refraction- refraction is the bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle and change speed.
Sound- sound is the transfer of energy from a vibrating object in longitudinal waves that travel through matter.

Wave speed- wave speed is how far a wave travels in a given amount of time; calculated as wavelength multiplied by wave frequency.

Wavelength- the distance between two corresponding points of adjacent waves,such as the distance two adjacent crests of a transverse wave is called the wavelength.
