A wave transmits information or energy from one point to another. Waves are mainly divided into mechanical, electromagnetic, and matter waves. These three types are differentiated based on how they are made and transmitted. Do you know what a wave trough is or how to get the wavelength? This quiz is designed to help you refresh your basic understanding of waves. Give it a try!
