- The length between the crest of the two waves
- Frequency
- Number of complete waves per second
- Measured in Hertz (Hz)
- Transverse
- Have sideways vibrations
- EM waves
- Vibrations are perpendicular (90 degrees) to the energy transfer
- Longitudinal
- Looks like a bar code
- Vibrations travel parallel to the direction of energy transfer
