Wave, A disturbance that travels through space and matter, transferring energy from one place to another. (Una perturbación que viaja a través del espacio y la materia, transfiriendo energía de un lugar a otro.), Electromagnetic, Relating to the interaction of electric and magnetic fields, often used to describe waves that do not require a medium to travel, such as light. (Relativo a la interacción de campos eléctricos y magnéticos, a menudo utilizado para describir ondas que no requieren un medio para viajar, como la luz.), Frequency, The number of times a wave repeats itself in a given period, usually measured in hertz (Hz). (El número de veces que una onda se repite en un período dado, generalmente medido en hertz (Hz).), Wavelength, The distance between two consecutive points in phase on a wave, such as from crest to crest or trough to trough. (La distancia entre dos puntos consecutivos en fase en una onda, como de cresta a cresta o de valle a valle.), Amplitude, The maximum extent of a wave's displacement from its rest position, indicating the energy of the wave; higher amplitude means more energy. (La extensión máxima del desplazamiento de una onda desde su posición de reposo, indicando la energía de la onda; una mayor amplitud significa más energía.), A vibration, a repeated back-and-forth OR up-and-down motion., A medium, a material through which waves can travel. It can be a solid, liquid, or gas., transverse waves, Vibrates up and down perpendicular to the motion the energy travels., Compressional/Longitudinal waves, Vibrates back and forth parallel to the motion the energy travels.
