Characteristics of waves :1.) A wave is a disturbance that moves through a ) Example: A pebble is dropped into a quiet pond. The DISTUR-BANCE made by the pebble is what moves outward over the water'sonce-still surface. Water molecules are certainly jostled by the wave, butafter the wave passes by, each molecule finds itself back in its original,pre-disturbance position (at least to a good approximation).In other words, water waves are not made up of lumps of water thatmove across the water's surface.
