Question

What is a wave? Describe it.

Answer 1

Answer:

In physics, mathematics, and related fields, a wave is a disturbance of a field in which a physical attribute oscillates repeatedly at each point or propagates from each point to neighboring points, or seems to move through space. The waves most commonly studied in physics are mechanical and electromagnetic.

There are three types of wave :

1)Longitudinal wave *s - Movement of the particles are parallel to the motion of the energy.

2)Transverse wave *s - movement of the particles are at right angles (perpendicular) to the motion of the energy.

3) Surface wave *s - particles travel in a circular motion.
