When any mechanical wave moves through it, the physical medium vibrates around

its equilibrium positiion, but on the average over each complete vibration, it doesn't

move to a different location.

As energy moves in waves through the water the water moves?

As energy from waves moves through the water, the water itself also moves in a circular motion. This circular motion involves the transfer of energy through the water column, causing a vertical and horizontal movement of water particles in the direction of the wave propagation.


What makes waves by boats moving through the water?

When a boat moves through water, it displaces the water around it, creating waves. These waves travel away from the boat in all directions, causing the water's surface to oscillate up and down as the energy from the boat's movement is transferred to the water. The size and shape of the waves depend on the speed and size of the boat.


What type of wave moves through matter?

A mechanical wave moves through matter. These waves require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate energy. Examples include sound and seismic waves.


What is te term for the transfer of energy by A Disturbance that moves through space?

The term is "wave." Waves can transfer energy through a medium (such as water or air) or through empty space (such as light waves).


Does energy travel through water?

Yes, energy can travel through water in the form of waves, such as sound waves or electromagnetic waves. These waves can propagate through water and carry energy over long distances.


What moves from source to receiver in a wave motion?

Just the imparted energy. As with water or electrons in a wire the energy moves and the medium stays in its local area.


What do ocean waves and currents have to do with energy waves and electrical currents?

energy travels through waves.Waves can be in water, but they can also be on land or in the air.A wave moves energy from one place to another.light,sound and mechanical energy all travel in waves.


Water in a wave moves what and what?

Well . . . boats, shallow swimmers and fish, and energy can all do that.


What is a disturbance that moves through matter and space and carries energy?

A disturbance that moves through matter and space carrying energy is called a wave. Waves can be classified as mechanical waves that require a medium to propagate, such as sound waves, or electromagnetic waves that can travel through vacuum, such as light waves.

What are light energy moves as waves are called?

Light energy moves as waves are called electromagnetic waves. These waves are characterized by their amplitude, wavelength, and frequency, and can travel through a vacuum at the speed of light.
