What is the major aim of the 'Introduction to Waves' module according to Jitendra K. Behera?
To discuss the classification of waves based on their broad physical properties
How is a wave defined?
A disturbance in a medium that carries energy without a net movement of particles
What type of wave carries energy without a net transfer of medium particles?
Electromagnetic waves
Test your understanding of the classification of waves based on their physical properties, including mechanical waves, water waves, EM waves, sound waves, and matter waves. Explore criteria such as longitudinal, transverse, and mixed waves, as well as the dimensionality of 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D waves.
