Wavelength The distance between one crest (or trough) of one wave and the next is the wavelength of the wave. Determines color in light and pitch in sound

Mixture any combination or blend of different elements, kinds, qualities, etc.

Law of Conservation of Energy Energy cannot be created or distroyed.
