Citadel Physics Wave Pendulum HD. Harmonic Motion. Wave Fundamentals. A wave is defined as the transfer of energy from one point to another.
There are two large, all encompassing categories of waves: mechanical and non-mechanical. Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium for the transfer of their energy to occur. Water waves are an example of mechanical waves. Tsunami waves released after an earthquake transfer the energy of the quake to distant shorelines. Dr Quantum - Double Slit Experiment.
