Waves and types of waves

Definition:-

"Wave is the transfer of energy from one place to another place without the transfer of matter or body."

Explanation:-

Wave only transfer energy or disturbance from one place to another place with transfer of matter, they travels through some medium.
The above shown diagram is of wave. As seen that there also some parts of  waves. Crest and Trough.
The highest point of wave is known as crest and lowest part is known as tough, while rest position is the middle position.

Examples:-

1.When you throw the stone in the lake, then waves starts to travel arround the hit point of stone on water. these waves carries some energy, when you will put your finger in these waves you will some force.
2.Wind(Air flowing) is a kind of waves they can move away papers like stuff means carry some energy.
3. You speak, your voice travels to the other in the form of waves, as they feel sound means your voice has energy.

Types of Waves:-

there are three basics types of waves:-

1.Mechanical Waves act as the propagation of a disturbance through a material medium due to the repeated periodic motion of the particles of the medium about their mean positions, the disturbance being handed over from one particle to the next.

2.Electromagnetic Waves
 are the disturbance, which does not require any material medium for its propagation and can travel even through vacuum. They are caused due to varying electric and magnetic fields.

3.Matter Waves
 are the waves produced in electrons and particles
