What are the disturbances in waves?
The disturbances in waves are the ones that push the waves. This can be defined as a variation or oscillation that travels though a medium from one point to another.
Do waves transfer matter from one point to another as they move through a medium?
No
Sound waves are what waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which transfer energy by compressing particles, which then apply pressure on the particles infront of them. The point at which the particles are compressed is known as the compression, whereas the point at which the particles are most spaced out is known as the rarefaction
What is the point where particles in a medium stay when there are no disturbances?
Only at a TEMPERATURE of Absolute Zero. There is no Molecular motion at that point.
When waves travel from one point to another what is transferred through the medium?
When waves travel from one point to another energy is transferred through the medium. Waves are periodic vibrations or oscillations in a medium that propagate through the medium carrying energy in the form of the movement. Exceptions to this are light and gravity waves, which do not require a medium for propagation.

Do waves transfer matter from one point to another as they move through a medium?
No
If a disturbance sends ripples across water in a tub What do the ripples represent?
These waves are called surface waves. Since they transfer energy from one point to another, they are also called energy waves.
What is the difference between a pulse wave and periodic waves?
A pulse wave is a single vibratory disturbance that moves from one point to another. A periodic wave is a serious of disturbances that are evenly spaced.
Why can electromagnetic wave travel trough space and not sound waves?
Sound waves are compression waves, not radiation waves. Compression waves require a medium in which to travel, air, rock, water, anything. Space is a vacuum, hence no medium to transfer the wave from one point to another. Electromagnetic radiation waves travel best without the interference of that medium, which can in cases block the transmission of those waves completely.
What is it called in a wave where there's a point with no disturbances?
amphidromic point
Sound waves are what waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which transfer energy by compressing particles, which then apply pressure on the particles infront of them. The point at which the particles are compressed is known as the compression, whereas the point at which the particles are most spaced out is known as the rarefaction
How do you transfer speedy rewards point from one speedy card to another?
You would have to contact the company and ask them to transfer the points for you.
What is the point where particles in a medium stay when there are no disturbances?
Only at a TEMPERATURE of Absolute Zero. There is no Molecular motion at that point.
How can energy transfer in a wave?
All waves can be thought of as mechanical waves, like sound waves. If there's an energy source at a point, the particles at that point will oscillate, meaning that they gain energy. These particles will bounce/collide with other particles in the surroundings, transferring this energy to them. In this way, the energy is carried away from the source and transferred somewhere else.

What are two natural disturbances?
Global warming and non-point source pollution are disturbing nature.
