Chapter 5, Problem 1CQ
What is a wave?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The definition of a wave.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
Wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium.
Explanation of Solution
For a given material, it is possible to create disturbances or vibrations that propagate across the material. If these disturbances are repeating in nature, then it results in waves. The point from which the disturbances originate is called a source, and the waves travel away from the source.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium.
