<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-is-a-wave"><strong>What is a Wave?</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A <strong>wave</strong> is a disturbance that transfers energy through a medium. Waves are fundamental concepts in Physics.<br>But what does this really mean?</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It means that <strong>waves involve the movement of energy</strong>, not the movement of matter. The medium through which the wave travels does <strong>not</strong> experience any permanent displacement. Instead, energy passes through it.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-classification-of-waves"><strong>Classification of Waves</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Waves can be classified into various types depending on how they transfer energy and interact with matter. Understanding the <strong>different types of waves</strong> helps us identify their unique behaviors and applications.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The <strong>two main types of waves</strong> are:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><strong>Mechanical Waves</strong></li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->
<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><strong>Electromagnetic Waves</strong></li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:separator -->
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>
<!-- /wp:separator -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-mechanical-waves"><strong>Mechanical Waves</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mechanical waves require a <strong>medium</strong> to travel through. Examples include:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>Sound waves</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->
<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>Water waves</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->
<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>Seismic waves</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>These waves cannot travel through a vacuum because they need particles to propagate the energy.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-electromagnetic-waves"><strong>Electromagnetic Waves</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Unlike mechanical waves, <strong>electromagnetic waves</strong> do <strong>not</strong> need a medium. They can travel through the vacuum of space. Examples include:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>Light waves</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->
<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>Radio waves</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->
<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>X-rays</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->
<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>Microwaves</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This is why sunlight reaches Earth from the Sun, even though space is a vacuum.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-wave-properties-you-must-know"><strong>Wave Properties You Must Know</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Every wave has certain key characteristics:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><strong>Amplitude</strong> – the height of the wave</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->
<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><strong>Wavelength</strong> – the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->
<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><strong>Frequency</strong> – how often the wave oscillates in one second</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->
<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><strong>Speed</strong> – how fast the wave travels through the medium</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->
<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><strong>Period</strong> – the time it takes to complete one cycle</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Understanding these properties helps in calculating wave behavior and interactions.</p>
