What is the definition of a wave?

• Matter through which a wave travels

• A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another

• The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave

• The lowest point of a transverse wave

This is what a wave travels on and transfers energy.

It can be in the form of a solid, liquid, or gas.

• Medium

• Frequency

• Refraction

• Reflection
