What is diffraction
When a wave bends around an obstacle slowing it down
9 of 21
What is interference
When two waves collide their effects add, if they have the same frequency they cancel each other out
10 of 21
What is 'in step' and what happens if it occurs
When two waves are going up and down at the same points, they create a bigger disturbance
11 of 21
What is 'out of step' and what happens if it occurs
When two waves are going up and down at opposite times, they cancel each other out and create no disturbance

What are fibre optics
Thin glass wires, or fibres, that carry infrared radiation. They are constantly reflect off each edge back into the tube to save as much energy as possible before it reaches it's destination

What is frequency
Number of waves per second

What is refraction
When a wave passes through a material and is slowed down by it . Then it comes out of the material at a different angle to before
