What are the Characteristics of Progressive Waves?

A progressive wave is formed due to continuous vibration of the particles of the medium.
The wave travels with a certain velocity.
There is a flow of energy in the direction of the wave.
No particles in the medium are at rest.
The amplitude of all the particles is the same.
