    1. These disturbances are accompanied by the transfer of energy
    2. Mechanical waves
      1. Require a medium
        1. Like air or water
      2. Electromagnetic waves
        1. Do not require a medium
          1. Can travel through a vacuum
        2. Tranverse waves
          1. Oscillations perpendicular to direction of travel
            1. Electromagnetic waves can only be tranverse
            2. Longitudinal waves
              1. Oscillations parallel to direction of travel
                1. Mechanical waves can be longitudinal or tranverse
                2. Properties
                  1. Wavelength
                    1. Amplitude
                      1. Frequency
                        1. Period
