Wavelength - Distance of one wave from crest-crest (trough- trough)

Period - Time it take a wave to vibrate one time

Amplitude - Distance from Midline to max/low of wave

Frequency - Number of waves per second

Transverse wave - Motion perpendicular to the energy. (Light, Ocean waves)

Longitudinal waves - Compressions and rarefactions of particles, a close and far moment. (Sound, vibrations.)

Electromagnetic spectrum - The range of electromagnetic light, radiation, and wavelengths.

Wavelength: λ; λ = v/f

Period: T; T = 1/f

Frequency: f; f = v/λ

Wave speed: v; v = λf

Amplitude: A

Hertz: Hz: waves/ second
