A light wave travels at almost 300,000 kilometers a second, (or 186 miles a second) in a vacuum. It slows down in water or other materials. It stops in a Bose Einstein condensate, but starts up again when the condensate turns to a different state of matter.
True. The frequency of light is very fast as it is a wave oscillating at a high rate. This high frequency corresponds to a short wavelength, which is the distance between two consecutive peaks of the wave.
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
A radio wave travels at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second).
Yes, light is an electromagnetic wave.
A light wave's brightness depends on its amplitude, which determines the intensity of the wave. The greater the amplitude, the brighter the light wave will appear.

An electromagnetic wave is a wave with electric component and magnetic component. In free space (vacuum), an electromagnetic wave travels with the speed of light, that is 3x10^8 m/s. In fact, light is also an electromagnetic wave.

A sonic wave.

I would rather say that light IS a wave, not that it HAS a wave. It is a type of electromagnetic wave.
