A flower stem appearing to be broken under water is called "Refraction" A large water wave from two smaller waves is called "interference" Rainbow pattern on a CD is called "diffraction grating" Light from a flashlight bouncing back after striking a mirror = "Reflection" So yea I think you're right :D
