Wave

Propagating disturbance which transmits energy from one point to another without physically transporting the oscillating quantity. A wave is
characterized by wavelengthDistance from one peak of a wave to the next. Wavelength is measured in units of distance. The wavelengths of visible light correspond to ~400-650 nm. Wavelength is an important way to characterize a wave. For light, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy of the light wave. and frequency.
