Answer

A simple harmonic progressive wave is a periodic disturbance in a medium or in a vacuum which propagates at a finite speed and in which the vibrations of the particles of the medium, as in a mechanical wave, or the oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields as in an electromagnetic wave are simple harmonic.
