Anaphase
The spindle fibers split apart the chromosomes into strands
The strands move away from each other (begin to)
Telophase
New nuclear membranes form around each DNA set
Spindle fibers disappear
Chromosomes unwind into chromatin

Parent cell organelles & DNA are duplicated,
A split pinch occurs to turn the parent cell into two
daughter cells

Light & Optics
Light travels in waves
Waves
Wave properties
Wavelength
Distance from one point in a wave to another similar point (ie. trough to trough)
Measured in metres (Greek letter lambda)
Amplitude
The wave height from the crest to rest position,
wave depth from trough to rest position
Amplitude determines the energy carried
Frequency
The rate of repetition, in a wave
Frequency-Wavelength relationship
As frequesncy increases, the waves are closer together & therefore smaller
Parts of a wave
Crest
This is the highest point of a wave
Trough
This is the lowest point in a wave
Rest Position - when there are no waves being made
A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy (from point to point) without transferring matter
