Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A pulse is a wave of short duration, characterized by a single disturbance that travels through a medium or space, unlike continuous waves which extend over a longer period. Pulses can travel through various mediums, not just in vacuum or solids, making options C and D incorrect. Option A is also incorrect because pulses are defined by their short, rather than long, duration.
