What is the transfer of energy by waves?
Radiation
Do all EM waves transfer matter from place to place?
False. EM Waves do not transfer matter, they transfer energy.
Do mechanical waves travel faster in solids or liquids?
Mechanical waves involve the physical transfer of vibration from one particle to another within the medium. Denser materials (solids and liquids), have closer particles so this transfer of energy occurs more quickly. :)
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.
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves?
The waves that are the most infictint are the seismic waves
What is transferred on a wave?
Many things travel in waves: light, energy, water, and sound.
What is the difference between compreesinal waves and transverse wave?
A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. where as compressional waves (also known as Longitudinal waves) are waves that have the same direction of oscillations parallel to their direction of travel I hope this clears it out...
How can you classify energy according to its waves?
Waves may be classified according to the direction of vibration relative to that of the energy transfer
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.
How does sound waves travel in air and transfer energy?
As longitudinal waves. It transfers energy through vibrations of air layes
What do all types of electromagnetic wave transfer from one place to another?
for all the apex users:In changing electric and magnetic fields
What is carried by waves?
Water waves are transverse waves this means that the motion of the particles travels perpendicularly to the direction of the wave travel
What is transferred through a medium?
Disturbances that transfer energy, or waves. Mechanical waves must have a medium to travel.
How mechanical and electromagnetic waves are similar.?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space.Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy.
How are sound waves and electromagnetic waves different from one another?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves I.E the direction of movement of each particle in the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the transfer of energy, similar to a water wave. Sound waves are transverse and so the direction of the movement of the particles in the medium is the same direction as the movement of the energy.
Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
Yes. Longitudinal waves can produce standing waves.
Do light waves transfer energy?
Do light waves transfer energy
