Does a microwave use machanical energy?
because It moves
What do mechanical waves use to transfer energy?
The motion of mass, i.e. kinetic energy passed down the line.
How does energy transfer by waves differ from energy transfer by a moving object?
In energy Transfer by waves, the energy moves through the the medium, for example the water, but isn't carrying the water with it. In energy transfer by a moving object the energy is traveling by means of an object. So, energy transfer by waves can be pictured as a person (the energy) swimming through water (the medium) and energy transfer through an object can be pictured as a person (the energy) riding a bicycle (the object) In the first case the energy itself is moving through a medium, where in the second case the energy is using its power to move by use of an object. Hope this helps you understand!
What is the matter that waves use to transfer energy?
The matter that waves use to transfer energy is called the medium. The medium actually carries the energy of the wave. Sound is a good example of mechanical energy, and it requires a medium to travel. The energy created at the source is transferred into the medium, and the medium carries it forward in transmission (propagation).
What is the energy transfer when you use a microphone?
The sound waves cause a diaphragm in the microphone to vibrate. The mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy.
What is The transfer of energy in invisible waves?
When you use a microwave heat is generated by the friction of molecules within the food bouncing off one another. Radiant energy is sunshine waves of light.
Mechanical waves use matter to transfer energy?
Well, yes and no. Mechanical energy is usually converted from chemical energy into machines. However, the waves are usually in the form of informational waves, like internet cords and computer-based cords.
Information in transmitted in terms of energy transfer in a telephone?
Information is usually transmitted in terms of either radio waves or acoustic energy in a telephone. Machines such as the fax are usually used.
What animals use energy transfer?
Elephants use energy transfer, manly african elephants, with their ears etc.
Does an electromagnetic wave use matter to transfer energy?
No, an electromagnetic wave does not require matter (a medium) to transfer energy. Electromagnetic energy (like light or radio waves) travels perfectly well in the vacuum of space. In contrast, a mechanical wave, of which sound is an example, does require a medium through which to travel.
How do computers use electromagnetic waves?
Energy
What waves has the highest amount of energy?
Gamma waves. they use them in cancer treatment.
