What is Wave motion ?
Wave motion refers to the transfer of energy through the propagation of disturbances or oscillations in a medium or space. It is characterized by the transfer of energy without the physical displacement of the medium itself. Waves can occur in various forms, including mechanical waves, such as water waves and sound waves, as well as electromagnetic waves, such as light waves.
