    Study Notes

    Wave Basics

    • A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium, transferring energy and momentum.

    Properties of Medium

    • For wave propagation, the medium should possess elasticity (ability to restore its shape) and inertia (ability to resist changes).

    Characteristics of Wave Motion

    • Wave motion is characterized by periodic disturbances that travel through space and time.

    Types of Waves

    • (No answer available in the provided text, as it only asks about what is NOT a type of wave mentioned in the text)
