I give the basic definition of a wave: a disturbance that travels through a material and carries energy with it without carrying the material along with it. I also go over the classification of waves by giving the definition of transverse and longitudinal waves (with examples of both) and defining mechanical and electromagnetic waves. There will be a future video that covers electromagnetic waves in more depth, for now we just need the basic definition.
