    a pulse that carries energy

    Explanation:

    A wave is defined as a periodic disturbance (also called 'pulse') which carries energy, but not matter, through a medium (or through a vacuum).

    Waves can be classified into two types:

    - Mechanical waves: these waves consist of periodic oscillations of the particles of a medium. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves. This type of waves can propagate only through a medium, so they cannot travel through a vacuum.

    - Electromagnetic waves: these waves consist of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic fields. This type of waves can propagate both through matter and through a vacuum, because they do not need a medium for the oscillations to occur.
