Devices like floats or tubes are put in the water and waves come the tubes vibrate and the vibrations are sent to an on-land station where the vibrations are changed into electricity

How would tides cause electricity?

Tides themselves don't create electricity.(i think) But if you and a generator to the equation then you have waves pushing the propeler like things then that spins inside a coil that produces electricity. So yeah hats what I know...hope I helped


When was radio waves first discovered?

In 1820 Hans Christian Oersted noticed that electricity could cause magnets to move. This was the first "discovery" of radio waves.


How can energy change a radio used to generate electricity?

Radio waves when they contact metal cause the metal's electrons to move (away from the atoms they are nearest) -- electricity.

Is electricity a wave?

Electricity is not a wave itself, but it can travel in the form of waves, such as electromagnetic waves.

sine waves


How can sound be converted into electricity?

Sound can be converted into electricity through a process called piezoelectricity. This involves using materials that generate an electric charge when they are subjected to mechanical stress, such as vibrations from sound waves. When sound waves cause these materials to vibrate, they produce an electric current that can be harnessed as electricity.


What evidence that waves transfer energy?

One piece of evidence that waves transfer energy is that they can cause movement or vibrations in objects they encounter. For example, sound waves can make objects vibrate, and ocean waves can move boats. Additionally, waves can also do work, such as generating electricity in wave power plants.

Electricity will not generally cause?

This is an ill-formed question. You ask what electricity, in general, will not cause. But there is a huge amount of things that would fit that description. For example I could say that electricity would not in general cause bunnies to randomly appear. I would suggest rephrasing the question :)


True or false the oscillating water column a device used to capture the power in waves operates by waves entering a shaft compressing the air in the shaft turning a turbine which generates electricity?

True. The oscillating water column is a device that converts wave energy into electricity. Waves entering a shaft cause the air inside to oscillate, generating pressure changes that drive a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity.
