what defines a wave? zainah abaza · sep 15 (edited sep 15) · mp1 classwork · 100 points your answer missing type your answer turn in
A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through a medium (or in some cases, through a vacuum for electromagnetic waves) without causing a net - displacement of the medium itself. It has characteristics like amplitude (height of the wave), wavelength (distance between two consecutive similar points), frequency (number of waves per unit time), and speed (how fast the wave travels).
