If the amplitude of a wave is decreased, what will the change in its energy?
lower
300
What is this distance? 
wavelength
300
Occurs when light rays bounce off of a surface back to your eyes (ie when you look in a mirror).
Refection
300
Disturbances that transfer energy from one place to another.

Crest
500
When light bends moving from one medium to another.
Refraction

When amplitude is increased in light waves, what changes do we see? Think of a light bulb
Increase in brightness (intensity)
