A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space or spacetime, often transferring energy. While a mechanical wave exists in a medium (which on deformation is capable of producing elastic restoring forces), waves of electromagnetic radiation (and probably gravitational radiation) can travel through vacuum, that is, without a medium. Waves travel and transfer energy from one point to another, with little or no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium (there is little or no associated mass transport); instead there are oscillations around fixed positions.
For many years, scientists have been trying to work out the problem of energy transfer from one place to another - especially sound and light energy.

There are several sources of sound waves... Anything that vibrates the air around it will produce sound waves... Sound waves travel through the air... The resonance or the changing of the air pressure which travels through the air at 344 m/s is called sound...
