Properties and Diagram of a Wave

A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy

Amplitude
Wavelength the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave
Frequency
Speed

Lenses

Two types of lenses

o Convex
o Concave
Shape of the lens and the location of object change the image formed
Definition: A lens is a curved piece of glass that reflects or refracts light
Forms an image by refraction of light that passes through
