Light Wave - Common type of electromagnetic wave; do not need a medium to travel, Electromagnetic Wave - Electric and Magnetic waves that transmit energy; don't need a medium; ex. light, microwaves, radio waves etc, Electromagnetic Spectrum - The range of frequencies over which electromagnetic waves travel, Transverse Wave - A wave that vibrates at right angles to the direction it is traveling, Crest - The high point of a transverse wave, Trough - The low point of a transverse wave, Wavelength - The distance from one crest to another crest or from one trough to another trough on a transverse wave, Amplitude - The distance a wave travels from resting (how high the crest gets) determined by energy in the wave, Speed of Light - 300,000,000 m/s - fastest anything has been observed to travel, Frequency - The number of crests that pass a point every second, Reflection - The bouncing back of a light ray after it hits a surface, Color of Light - Determined by the Frequency of the light wave, Brightness of Light - Determined by the Amplitude of the light wave,
