Yes, water waves, like all waves, are a transfer of energy. The individual water molecules themselves just move up and down, but the wave propagates in the direction where the energy is being transferred to.

What is visible evidence of energy passing through the water?

Visible evidence of energy passing through water can include waves, ripples, and water movement caused by wind, currents, or objects interacting with the water. Additionally, you may see changes in the color or opacity of the water due to the energy passing through it.


Which is visible evidence of energy passing through water?

A wave is a good example of energy passing through water, and it is clearly visible. The crest of the wave represents the point of peak energy content, according to Bernoulli.There are other ways that energy passes through water, but these are not clearly visible. For example, when water is heated it rises because of the reduced density compared to the colder water.


What are considered to be disturbances in the water caused by the water energy that is passing through the water.?

Disturbances in the water caused by passing water energy can include waves, ripples, turbulence, and currents. These disturbances can be influenced by factors such as wind, tides, and obstacles in the water.


As an energy wave moves through the water what happened still water particles themselves?

As the energy wave moves through the water, the still water particles start to oscillate or move in a circular motion. The particles transfer energy to neighboring particles causing them to also move in a wave-like pattern. This movement is what we perceive as the wave passing through the water.


How energy is passed through water?

True, waves ARE energy passing through water. nova net Easy.ill explain.put some lemon juice in water now pass electricity through it you will get a smell.this is because electricity evolves the hydrogen and oxygen in the water.this way by making use of such conductors electricity will pass through water.i think even salt works in the procedure


The prefix ''hydro'' means ''water'' what then is hydroelectricity?

Electricity made from water (passing through turbines) using the stored potential energy of the mass of the water moving to a lower height.


Why does food in a microwave oven gets hot but a glass dish does not?

Radio waves (microwaves) passing through the food transfer energy to the water in the food, causing the water to heat up. Glass has no water, and the radio waves pass through without transferring any energy.


What separated water?

What does not provide the energy to spin a turbine?

A turbine spins due to a flow of fluid, usually steam or water, passing through it. The fluid's kinetic energy is converted into mechanical energy that spins the turbine. It is not the turbine itself that provides energy, but rather the fluid flowing through it.

What is this definition of medium in physics?

A medium in physics is the substance or material that wave energy travels through, such as air, water, or a solid. It can affect the speed and direction of waves passing through it.
