wavelength: a disturbance from one wave to the next wave
wave: a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another
medium: a substance in which a wave moves through
Transverse wave:a wave that moves at right angles in which the wave travels
electromagnetic wave:a type of wave that does not require a medium to travel
crest: the highest point of a wave
trough: the lowest point of a wave
amplitude: the maximum distance taht causes a medium to move at its resting point
