1 How do multiple waves interact with one another?

2 Reflection Light waves scatter or bounce off of an object

3 Refraction Light waves bend while going through an object

4 Diffraction involves a change in direction of waves as they pass through an opening or around a barrier in their path

5 Constructive Interference
When two waves meet in such a way that their crests line up together, resulting wave has higher amplitude

6 Destructive Interference
the crest of one wave meets the trough of another, and the result is a lower total amplitude.

7 Absorption Light waves are absorbed by an object

8 Pitch A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave.
