A traveling plane wave is a type of wave that propagates through a medium (or in a vacuum) with a constant phase and amplitude over time. It is characterized by its regular, periodic nature and can be described mathematically by sinusoidal functions. The term "plane" refers to the fact that the wavefronts (surfaces of constant phase) are flat, as opposed to spherical or more complex shapes.
