    The document discusses wave propagation and wavefronts. It explains that a wave transfers energy and momentum as it propagates through a medium, while the particles of the medium only vibrate in place. It also defines a wavefront as a line connecting all points that have the same phase of a wave. The direction of propagation of a wave is perpendicular to the wavefronts.
