Wave

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to get a message across a crowded room at a party without leaving your spot. This is similar to how a wave transfers energy, as both involve passing something along through a medium without the need for physical movement from start to finish. Just as you might rely on a chain of people relaying your message by whispering to the next person, a wave transfers energy by causing particles to vibrate and pass the disturbance to neighboring particles, whether it's through the air, water, or even empty space.
