# Wave Properties A wave is a disturbance that transmits energy through matter or empty space. A medium is something a wave travels through, such as: * Solid * Liquid * Gas **Transverse Waves:** * Particle movement is perpendicular to the energy movement. **Longitudinal Waves:** * Particle movement is parallel to the energy movement. **Electromagnetic Waves:** * Can travel through matter or empty space. **Mechanical Waves:** * Can travel through matter only.
