Wave motion transfers energy from one point to another, which may or may not displace particles of the medium [disambiguation needed]—that is, with little or no associated mass transport. Waves consist, instead, of oscillations or vibrations (of a physical quantity), around almost fixed locations.

It is a form of disturbance that travels through the medium due to repeated periodic motion of the particles of the medium about their mean positions.

Wave motion, propagation of disturbances—that is, deviations from a state of rest or equilibrium—from place to place in a regular and organized way. Most familiar are surface waves on water, but both sound and light travel as wavelike disturbances, and the motion of all subatomic particles exhibits wavelike properties.
