In water or other liquids the wave travels across the surface as a difference in height and with a certain period or wavelength.

A wave will only travel as long as it has energy to carry?

Correct. Waves transport energy from one place to another, and if the energy runs out, the wave will dissipate and stop traveling.


What kind of wave does electromagnetic energy travel in?

The wave is called an electromagnetic wave.


What direction does energy travel in a transverse wave?

Energy in a transverse wave travels perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.

What is light wave energy?

Light wave energy refers to the form of energy carried by electromagnetic waves in the visible light spectrum. These waves travel through space in the form of particles called photons and are responsible for providing illumination and enabling sight. Light wave energy is used in various applications including lighting, communication, and solar power generation.


How are sound and light forms of energy different?

Sound is a form of mechanical energy and light is electrical. Sound moves as a longitudinal wave and lighty as a transverse wave. Sound cannot travel in free space, light can.


Is it true that a wave will travel only as long as it has energy to carry it?

Yes, that is correct. A wave will only travel as long as it has enough energy to propagate through the medium. Once the energy dissipates or is absorbed, the wave will stop propagating.

Which way does energy travel in a longitudinal wave?

In a longitudinal wave, energy travels in the same direction as the wave is moving. This means kinetic energy is transferred from one particle to the next in the direction of wave propagation.


What type of wave can transfer energy without medium?

the wave which does not travel through a medium is called electromagnetic wave.


What are the 2 things that must be present for a wave to form?

The pressure from underneath the surface such as water volcano, underwater earthquake etc. or waves can be caused by strong winds blowing the water.
