Light travels in straight lines until it hits a prism, where it bends and spreads out into different colors. This bending, called refraction, happens when light moves from one transparent medium to another. Depending on the frequency of the wave, it could refract more or less.

Learn about water waves and sound waves. Energy travels through waves and in this science video for kids we explain amplitude & wavelength. Watch now!
Amplitude, Period, Frequency, and Wavelength of Periodic Waves. This video is a continuation of the video “Introduction to Waves” from the "Types of Waves" section. It discusses the properties of a periodic wave: amplitude, period, frequency, wavelength, and wave velocity.
