Propagation medium? Though a wave doesn't need a medium to travel or transfer energy (sound waves do, but lightwaves don't). People used to think there was an ether in which light moved, but there isn't.

What is a disturbance moving through a liquid solid or gas?
It may be called a "wave." Waves are a type of vibration that carry energy from molecule to molecule through matter. A "wave" can also be electromagnetic energy, which does not require matter to propagate.
How can Compare the movement of energy in the biosphere with the movement of matter through biosphere?
matter is recyced in the biosphere
What is a step in the passage of energy and matter through an ecosystem?
its a trophic level
Is plant matter an energy resource?
=Yes. It is called bio energy, but it is not very effitiant.=
How is the movement if matter through the biosphere different from the flow of energy?
Unlike the one way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems.
The matter through which waves transfers energy?
The matter through which waves transfers energy is a medium.
What process transfers thermal energy through matter directly from particle to particle?
conduction
What type of energy transfers occurs even when matter isn't present?
Electromagnetic Energy does not require matter to be transferred...that is why it can travel through the vacuum of space.
What transfers of thermal energy by the movement of matter from one place to another?
This mode of thrermal energy transfer is called CNVECTION.
The wave that transfers energy but not matter?
what they say
What is the matter which a wave transfers energy?
MEDIUM
What do waves carry from place to place?
No, they do not. A wave transfers energy but the matter does not move forward with the wave.
Radiation transfers thermal energy by?
thermal energy will always radiate to lower energy matter.
Radiation transfers energy by moving matter.?
No. Radiation transfers energy by the propagation of waves within the electromagnetic spectrum and the travel of photons (wave-particle duality). No matter is moved in this process.
Can a mechanical wave transfer matter?
No waves do not transfer matter but it transfers only the energy
What is a repeating disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space?
i dont know ask ur science teacher
What is the transfer of of energy carried by light waves to particles in matter?
This process is called energy absorption.
