What is a Wave?
A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium, which is the matter that a wave travels through, from one location to another.A transverse wave are waves that move the medium at right angles(90 degrees)
Want an example? Try This!
Get a slinky. When the slinky is stretched out, the coils made in it are in a rest position, or a equilibrium.
If the first coil on one end repeatedly vibrates back and forth, a disturbance is made in which this travels throughout the slinky to the other end.
