A wave is a disturbance which propagates in space, transport energy from one place 
to another without the transport of matter.
Example – Ripples on a pond, sound we hear etc.

Example – Ripples on a pond, sound we hear etc.
Classification of wave
Waves can be primarily classified into four categories–
(i) Based on medium
(ii) Based on the motion of particles of the medium
(iii) Based on energy propagation
(iv) Based on direction of propagation

Classification of Waves based on medium
On the basis of medium, waves are of two types (a) Mechanical waves, (b) 
Electromagnetic waves
