Best Answer

Propagation of disturbances from place to place in a regular and organized way.Most familiar are surface waves that travel on water, but sound, light, and the motion of subatomic particles all exhibit wavelike properties. In the simplest waves, the disturbance oscillates periodically with a fixed frequency and wavelength. Mechanical waves, such as sound, require a medium through which to travel, while electromagnetic waves do not require a medium and can be propagated through a vacuum. Propagation of a wave through a medium depends on the medium's properties.

---WAVE--- A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location. Ex.one of a series of ridges that moves across the surface of a liquid (especially across a large body of water)

A Wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place; the movement of energy through a body of water.

cw: That is one of the great questions in science! In general, a wave indicates a change in energy that moves through space. De Broglie, a Nobel-Prize winning French scientist, had postulated that a traveling mass has a wavelength. Of course, we know that mass is a form a energy. There are also such things as "standing waves" which seem not to move, and they are formed by two like waves moving in opposing directions. There is much more to the subject, but this will have to suffice.

A wave is adisturbance which travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself

How does the medium vibrate in a transverse wave?

during the propagation of traverse wave the molecules of medium vibrate up and down from mean position in the form of crest and trough.Example:wave in spring,wave in waterWater is the typical example given, but the water wave is a compressive wave at a boundary -- sort of a half transverse wave. Light is the physic's transverse wave. It too should be looked at suspiciously.
