A good example of a single disturbance that travels through a medium is a sound wave. Sound waves are created by vibrating objects that disturb the particles of a medium (such as air, water, or solids), causing a chain reaction of disturbances that propagate through the medium as pressure waves.

What is the difference between a pulse and a periodic wave?
A pulse is a single disturbance that travels through a medium, while a periodic wave consists of multiple repeated disturbances that travel through a medium at regular intervals.
A single bump or disturbance that travels through a medium?
A wave is a single bump or disturbance that travels through a medium, such as air or water, transferring energy without transferring matter. Waves can be classified into mechanical waves, like sound waves and water waves, or electromagnetic waves, like light waves.
A single disturbance that moves from point to point through a medium is called a?
wave.
Is a pulse a non-recurrent wave?
No, a pulse is a non-recurrent wave. A pulse is a single disturbance or signal that travels through a medium. It does not repeat or oscillate like a recurrent wave.
What is the definition of wave pulse?
A wave pulse is a single disturbance or variation that travels through a medium, carrying energy without carrying matter. It is a single, non-repeating wave that can be produced by a single event or source.
