What type of path do light waves travel?
straight
What do you call the lowest part or bottom of a transverse wavelength?
trough
A mirror shows a clear image because it reflects light in this way.
What is at the same angle?
Light waves slow down and change direction (appearing bent) when passing from one transparent material to another.

What is a rough surface?
This tool can create a rainbow by bending light.
