Properties of Waves/ Proponents of Electromagnetic Theory

The number of waves passing each second; it is measured in Hertz.

Particles on the wave vibrate perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving.

A means of transferring energy from one point to another.

Material through which a wave travel.

Require a medium to travel through (Example: water waves and sound waves)

The high point of a wave.

A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave.

Unit of measurement for frequency.

Do not require a medium (example: light and radio waves).

The low point of a wave.
