How does light move through water?
Water is tranparent; light passes through it.
Do waves generally move water great distances?
No,The water essentially returns to it's previous place as the wave passes by, in more or less a circular motion.Here is a discussion about waves.http://www.owrc.com/waves/waves.html
Why can you not hear in a vacuum?
Sound waves have to have something physical to travel through, such as air or water. There is nothing in the vacuum for the waves to move in.
What moves in a wave?
The term "forward" is arbitrary. The waves propagate away from the energy source that created them or away from a reflective surface. In mechanical waves (such as ocean waves), the waves move through the medium (water), but the particles in the medium do not travel along with the waves, although they do oscillate in place as the wave passes through the medium.
How does the direction of a ray of light change as it passes from air into water?
When a ray of light travels it is in a wave and when it enters from air to water it becomes more dense and harder to move so the waves are refracted.
Why do waves move toward the shore but the leaf floating on the surface of the water does not?
The wave travels through the water without moving the water with it (the water moves but then as the wave passes the water moves back to where it was). The floating leaf stays with the water as the wave passes on its way to the shore.
Why light waves doesn't require a medium for its propogation but sound waves require?
sound waves move along with the particles of matter through which it passes
How does light move through water?
Water is tranparent; light passes through it.
How does water move as waves travel through it?
vibration
What are similarities and differences between a sound waves and water waves in terms of medium?
Sound waves can move through almost any medium, although it moves more slowly through solid medium than gaseous. Water waves can move only through air or water.
What moves in waves?
The particles of the medium move up and down as the wave passes. The crests and troughs of the waves move with the wave.
If a wave move from one side of the lake to the other. Does the water move across the lake?
Waves travel through water, but they do not carry the water with them.
Some plants have an internal system of tube like structures through which water and food move this tissue is called?
water passes through xylem and food passes through phloem.
Do waves generally move water great distances?
No,The water essentially returns to it's previous place as the wave passes by, in more or less a circular motion.Here is a discussion about waves.http://www.owrc.com/waves/waves.html
Which way does water move as it passes through the zone of aeration?
sideways
Which way does water move once it passes through the zone of situation?
up
What is the name of sound waves that move through water?
They are called sound waves. Their name does not change just because they travel in water.
