| Question | Answer |
| Form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space. | Electromagnetic radiation |
| The shortest distance between equivalent points on a continuous wave. | Wavelength |
| The number of waves that pass a given point per second. | Frequency |
| The wave's height from the origin to a crest, or from the origin to a trough. | Amplitude |
| Also called the EM spectrum, encompasses all forms of electromagnetic radiation, with the only differences in the types of radiation being their frequencies and wavelengths. | Electromagnetic Spectrum |
