Wave motion is a disturbance that propagates in a medium, transferring energy and momentum without the actual movement of matter. The speed of the wave depends on the medium and is characterized by parameters such as wavelength and frequency.
What is wave motion?
Wave motion is a disturbance that propagates in a medium, transferring energy and momentum without the actual movement of matter.
