Abstract: Abstract As surprising as it may sound, there is no simple answer to this question. Better not ask what a wave Wave is, but ask what can be said about a wave Wave , explains J. Pierce [197]. The confusion is caused by the wave Wave motion itself, which can be related to propagating disturbances or oscillations. Nevertheless, let us first present some definitions.
