a wave is a phenomenon that transfers energy, not matter.

there are 2 types of waves:

transverse e.g. light

and longitudinal e.g. sound, seismic

im not that good at physics, but that's the best i can come up with, sorry ^^;;

Is light a wave, and if so, what are the properties and characteristics that define it as such?

Yes, light is a wave. It exhibits properties such as interference, diffraction, and polarization, which are characteristics of wave behavior. These properties help define light as a wave phenomenon.


List and define the two types of mechanical waves.?

The two types of mechanical waves are transverse waves and longitudinal waves. In transverse waves, particles in the medium move perpendicularly to the direction of the wave's propagation. In longitudinal waves, particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.

What is a wave describe its types and define them?

A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium, transferring energy without transferring matter. The two main types of waves are mechanical waves, which require a medium to propagate (e.g., sound waves, water waves), and electromagnetic waves, which can travel through a vacuum (e.g., light, radio waves). Waves can also be classified as transverse waves (oscillations perpendicular to the direction of wave travel) or longitudinal waves (oscillations parallel to the direction of wave travel).
