Traveling Waves- Pre-Lab This week we will be studying wave motion in general, the traveling waves through a medium, and analyze several cases of interaction with the other mediums. But first, let us define what is a wave and discuss about the two main types of traveling waves. Problem 1: Fill a deep plate with water and generate a wave. Describe in our own words what a wave is. (There is no need to consult any source to look for a definition, instead try to put it in your own way of how you understand a wave.)

Explanation / Answer

A wave is an oscillation of points on the water surface where the particles don't move laterally but energy is transferred. The kind of wave observed in the deep plate is of the transverse type.
