6.1.1 Understanding Waves

Posted on by

What is Wave?

  1. A wave is a disturbance or variation that propagates through a medium, often transferring energy.
  2. Waves travel and transfer energy (its amplitude) and information (its frequency) from one point to another, with little or no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium.
Must Know:
Waves transfer energy without transferring physical matter.
