The earliest wave to visualise is water wave , when you drop a stone inside a calm river ripples travel from the point where the stones are droped inside the water.
The disturbance travels out from the center of the pattern, but the water does not travel with the wave. Mechanical waves—such as water waves, waves on a rope, waves in a spring, and sound waves—have two general characteristics:
A disturbance is in some identifiable medium.
Energy is transmitted from place to place, but the medium does not travel between two places.
For the sake of simplicity, idealized one-dimensional waves on a rope and two-dimensional water surface waves with no friction-like forces provide the wave model. For ease of analysis, a pulse that is a single short wave will be used to illustrate wave characteristics that also hold true for more complex waves.
Further there are two types of waves longitudinal and transeversal waves.
in which energy is transmitteed from one place to another without any displacing the particles of medium
eg ball is moving and hit the wall and break it
here energy is transfered to wall by ball itself
consider example of persons standing in the row
last person pushes the second last person and second last to to make him stand erect he push the next one to balance himself similarily next to next and this energy moves throughout but persons are still there
The motion in which wave travels is called wavemotion.Generally it consists of "crests" and "troughs"....
