__7. refractionG. waves bounce off a surface and continue moving
__8. transverse waveH. waves oscillating at right angles to the direction it moves
__9. amplitudeA. measure of the energy in a wave
__10. compressional waveB. the material through which a wave travels
__11. hertzC. one object causing another to vibrate
__12. light wavesD. unit for frequency
