Question

What is one cycle of a wave?

Answer 1

1. A wave is a disturbance in a medium that carries energy without a net movement of particles.
2. One oscillation of a wave is known to be one cycle of the wave.
   
3. Oscillation can also be defined as a periodic variation of a matter between two values or about its central value.
4. A wave is a disturbance in a medium that carries energy without a net movement of particles.
5. Therefore, one wavelength is referred to as one cycle of a wave. The wavelength of a wave is called the length of one complete wave cycle.
