A wave is a repeating disturbance that travels through matter or space transferring only energy. Below is a model of a wave. A wave’s crest is its highest point, and its trough is its lowest point.

The total mechanical energy of the wave is the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy. The kinetic energy K = \(\frac{1}{2}\)mv 2 of each mass element of the string of length \(\Delta\)x is \(\Delta\)K = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(\(\Delta\)m)v y 2 , as the mass element oscillates perpendicular to the direction of the motion of the wave.
A wave transports its energy without transporting matter. Waves are seen to move through an ocean or lake; yet the water always returns to its rest position. Energy is transported through the medium, yet the water molecules are not transported.

A wave is periodic motion that gives rise to a variation in some value (intensity, energy, pressure, or some other property) over time as the wave property propagates through space. The video below demonstrates both the time-varying and space-varying properties of a wave as it travels.
Waves transfer energy, momentum, and information, but not mass. A naive description of a wave is that it has something to do with motion. But the motion of a wave on the water is not the same as the motion of the water from a hose.
Understanding wave base is crucial for interpreting wave dynamics, sediment transport, and the interaction between waves and the seabed, as it defines the area where wave energy significantly decreases.
