What is energy transfer by waves known as?
Energy transfer by waves is known as wave energy transfer. This is the process by which energy is transmitted through the oscillation of particles in a medium or through electromagnetic waves such as light or radio waves.
The transfer of energy in the form of rays or waves is known as what?
Radiation.
Are earthquake waves different from the concentric rings of waves when you throw a stone in the water?
Yes, earthquake waves are the result of the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust during an earthquake, and they travel through the Earth in various forms such as P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves. When you throw a stone in the water, the concentric rings of waves are known as water surface waves, which propagate along the water's surface and are caused by the displacement of water molecules. Both types of waves involve the transfer of energy through a medium, but they occur in different contexts and mediums.
All waves carry energy away from what?
All waves carry energy away from their source through the movement of the wave disturbance. This energy transfer can occur through various mediums such as air, water, or even empty space for electromagnetic waves.
Where do Surface waves get their energy from?
The Sun and the Moon gravitational pull on the earth causes high and low tides which give the ocean waves their energy. Ocean waves get their energy from wind blowing across the surface of the water. When the wind contacts the water, some of its energy is transferred.

What is the the transfer if the suns energy by electromagenetic waves?
the tranfer of energy from the sun in form of electromagnetic waves is known as radiation.
Do light waves transfer energy?
Do light waves transfer energy
Do surface waves only move in back and forth motions?
Surface waves can also move in a circular motion, known as orbital motion. This combination of back and forth and circular movement allows surface waves to transfer energy along the surface of a medium, such as water or the Earth's crust.
How is sound refected from surfaces?
Sound is mechanical energy. The energy displayed by the source is transferred into the medium through which it travels. When the wave, that moving energy, comes into contact with a surface, some of the energy is transferred into the surface. But how much? The more solid and "less moving" the surface (seen on a tiny scale), the less the moving air waves, those compression and rarifaction waves, can transfer energy into the surface. And that's what it's all about. The "softer" the surface, the more those pressure waves in air can affect that surface and transfer their energy into it.
Where do electromagnetic waves not transfer energy?
In a perfect vacuum, electromagnetic waves do not transfer energy. This is because there are no particles or medium for the waves to interact with, leading to no energy transfer.
What are waves of energy released by movements of rock under the earth's surface?
These are known as seismic waves.
How does wind energy transfer from the air to the water, and what are the mechanisms involved in this process?
Wind energy is transferred from the air to the water through a process called wind-induced surface waves. When wind blows over the surface of the water, it creates friction and transfers some of its energy to the water, causing the water molecules to move and generate waves. These waves then carry the energy across the water's surface. The main mechanisms involved in this process are the transfer of momentum from the wind to the water, the generation of surface waves, and the propagation of these waves across the water.
How does energy transfer from the sun?
energy is transferd from the sun in form of electromagnetic waves in a process known as radiation
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 transfer of energy in the forms of waves?
As the ocean's waves absorb or release energy from the sun, the transfer of energy changes.
