The concept of ‘wave’ appertains to those undoubtedly particularized conceptions that remain largely incomprehensible to a lion’s share of students, even despite the fact that they receive the knowledge about the main characteristics of waves during first school classes in physics. In modern physics, a wave is determined as an oscillation, which occurs with a transfer of energy through a medium. In fact, a wave process may have very different physical characteristics; therefore, it is possible to divide all kinds of waves in several groups: mechanical, chemical, electromagnetic, gravity waves, spin waves, etc. According to the more specific characteristic of waves, they are divided into several separated groups.
