This video serves as a good reminder that some waves travel at different speeds. The lightning and thunder example was helpful!

Thanks for the vid. I have a question, what is the definition of wavefield?

[sasanrahmatian]

Why was the amplitude of a wave not mentioned as one of its essential properties?

[squid]

why is this video so cohesive simple and easy to understand i don't get it--

[muhammadisaac]

Wave is a disturbance that can propagate
