Wikipedia
A wave is a disturbance that travels through space and time, usually by the transfer of energy. Waves are described by a wave equation that can take on many forms depending on the type of wave. A mechanical wave is a wave that propagates through a medium owing to restoring forces resulting from its deformation.
