What else can I help you with?
How do you know waves transfer energy in the direction of the travel of wave?
seismic waves travel in all directions. the reason we know is because of earthquakes.
These waves originate at the focus and can travel through all types of matter.?
P-waves, which may also be known as primary (as they arrive travel faster than other types of seismic waves and so are recorded on a seismometer first) or pressure waves as they propagate by the compression of matter.
Do all forms of energy travel in waves?
In short, no. Most energy that travels via waves is electromagnetic, although sound (and probably a few other types of energy) travels has waveforms too. A couple of examples of energy that don't travel in waves are potential energy, kinetic energy and chemical energy. Thermal energy can travel via waves as radiation energy (electromagnetic). Other forms of thermal energy transfer doesn't travel in waves.
What do electromagnetic waves have in common with water waves?
A. Move energy from one place to another.
Wave that do not require matter to carry energy?
Most waves all require something with mass to be transmitted. However, electromagnetic waves carry energy in the form of photons, which are massless. Since photons are massless, they are not considered matter, but they do indeed carry energy. (This is why something feels warmer when the sun shines on it.) Electromagnetic waves range anywhere from radio waves, microwaves, and the common visible light waves, to x rays, and gamma rays.
Do all waves carry energy but not matter?
Yes, all waves carry energy but not matter. Waves transfer energy from one place to another but do not involve the physical displacement of matter.
What is the same about all waves?
All waves involve the transfer of energy from one place to another without the transfer of matter. They are characterized by properties such as wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. Waves can be found in various forms, including light waves, sound waves, and water waves.
What do all waves do?
All waves have force, and water
What do all types of electromagnetic wave transfer from one place to another?
All types of electromagnetic waves transfer energy from one place to another by oscillating electric and magnetic fields. These waves do not require a medium to travel through and can propagate through a vacuum.
What waves transfer from one place to another?
All waves can travel from one place to another as long as they have a medium to travel through. The only waves that do not need a medium are electromagnetic waves. When using the word "transfer" though. Waves transfer energy; waves themselves are not transfered they simply travel.
Do all waves transfer energy from one place to another?
Yes, all waves transfer energy from one place to another. This energy can be in the form of mechanical vibrations, electromagnetic radiation, or other phenomena depending on the type of wave.
What do waves carry that is common to all waves?
All waves carry energy. This energy can be transferred from one place to another without transferring matter.
How are all waves the same?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, it is known as the speed of light. This number is roughly 300 million meters per second in vacuum, somewhat less in material substances.
Which waves disturb matter?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves or seismic waves, disturb matter by causing vibrations in the medium through which they travel. These waves transfer energy by displacing particles in the medium in the direction of the wave's propagation.
What are two things all waves have in common?
they all have amplitudes and they all have frequencies.
What two type of waves transfer energy?
The two types of waves that transfer energy are mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves. Mechanical waves require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. Both types of waves involve oscillations of particles or fields that carry energy from one place to another.
What does sound waves water waves and light waves have in common?
Sound waves, water waves, and light waves are all examples of waves that transfer energy from one place to another. They all exhibit characteristics of wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. Though they travel through different mediums (air, water, and vacuum, respectively), they all follow the principles of wave behavior such as reflection, refraction, and interference.
