A pendulum does not exhibit the characteristics of a wave, such as periodic oscillation or propagation through a medium. Instead, it follows a repetitive back-and-forth motion under the influence of gravity. Waves, on the other hand, involve the transfer of energy through a medium in the form of oscillations.

A pendulum is not considered a wave as it is attached to a pivot. A wave is something that moves forward heading towards something.
