Electromagnetic Waves Medium Medium- is the substance or materials through which wave can propagate. CREST- is the “top” or the highest point of a wave. TROUGH- is the “bottom” or the lowest part of a wave. AMPLITUDE- the “height” of a wave from the centerline. WAVELENGTH- indicates how long the wave is.
