Dear varunasav@gmail.com
Thanks for asking us a question in Ask the Expert section of TopperLearning.com.
- A wave is described as a vibration or disturbance having a certain energy that can either be stationary or moving.
- Every wave has frequency associated with that distinguishes it from other waves.
- A particle is physical entity which consists of a certain shape, physical dimensions and mass. It can be either be stationery or moving and we can be sure about its position in space unlike wave.
