    • REQUIREs a medium to transport its energy
  • Electromagnetic wave
    • Capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum
  • Transverse Wave
    • PARTICLES OF THE MEDIUM MOVE PERPENDICULAR TO THE DIRECTION OF THE WAVE
  • longitudal wave
    • Particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave
  • Wavelength
    • the length of one complete wave cycle from crest to crest or trough to trough
  • FREQUENCY
    • HOW OFTEN THE PARTICLES OF THE MEDIUM VIBRATE WHEN A WAVE PASSES THROUGH
  • EQUATION FOR SPEED OF A WAVE
    • speed = Distance/time
