This lesson will take a look at a real life experiment to explain circular water waves. A review of what a wave is and how it travels. The traveling wave does not carry particles, it carries the disturbance, water is the medium for water waves. The wave carries energy with. A way to categorize waves is to see if it requires a medium. Mechanical waves require mediums and electromagnetic waves do not. This lesson will show diagrams and give an in-depth explanation of the concept.
