A wave is the type of disturbance that transmits energy through a medium. Waves can be mechanical, like sound waves and seismic waves, or electromagnetic, like light and radio waves. Waves transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to oscillate back and forth.
True. A wave is a disturbance that carries energy through a medium without carrying matter.
A wave is a periodic disturbance in a solid, liquid, or gas that transmits energy through the medium. Waves can carry energy without carrying matter and exhibit characteristics such as frequency, wavelength, and amplitude.
A wave is any disturbance that transmits energy through a medium or space. Waves can be classified into different types, including mechanical waves (like sound waves and water waves) or electromagnetic waves (like light and radio waves). Waves carry energy from one place to another without the bulk transport of matter.
Disturbance travels in a medium through the transfer of energy from one particle to another. As the energy is passed along, neighboring particles are triggered to vibrate or displace, transmitting the disturbance through the medium. The disturbance does not involve the physical transfer of matter but rather the propagation of energy.
A disturbance that transfers energy through a medium is called a wave. Waves involve the transfer of energy without a net movement of matter, as the energy is carried by oscillations in the medium. Examples include sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves.

A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through a medium. It requires a source of energy, a medium through which to travel (such as air, water, or a solid material), and a mechanism to propagate the disturbance (like vibration or oscillation).
A wave is a periodic disturbance in a solid, liquid, or gas as energy is transmitted through a medium. Waves can be classified as mechanical waves, which require a medium to travel through, or electromagnetic waves, which do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
The disturbance is generally called a "wave", and the material (which may be empty space in some cases!) is called the "medium".
Sound waves are mechanical waves, meaning they require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids. Sound waves travel by the molecules in the medium vibrating and transferring energy to neighboring molecules, propagating the disturbance through the medium.
A disturbance that results in a wave is caused by a transfer of energy through a medium, such as water or air. This disturbance can be triggered by varying factors, including vibrations, wind, or a sudden change in pressure. Once the disturbance occurs, it creates a series of oscillations that propagate as a wave through the medium.
A sound wave transmits energy through a medium by causing particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave. This vibration creates a series of compressions and rarefactions that travel through the medium, carrying the energy of the sound wave with them.
No. If it happens that the disturbance propagates through the medium, i.e. spreads out from the disturbed point, then the phenomenon that travels away from the disturbance and through the medium describes the wave.
