Do waves carry matter from place to place?

No, waves do not carry matter from place to place. Waves transfer energy from one point to another by causing vibrations in a medium, but the particles in the medium do not move with the wave.


Does a wave transfer a medium from one place to another?

No, a wave does not transfer a medium from one place to another. A wave transfers energy through a medium by causing particles within the medium to oscillate back and forth. The medium itself does not move with the wave motion.


How does a water waves transfer energy but not matter?

Water waves transfer energy by displacing water particles as the wave travels through the water, causing them to move in a circular motion. However, the water particles themselves do not travel with the wave - they only oscillate in place. This transfer of energy without the transfer of matter is known as wave propagation.


What a machanical wave?

A disturbance in matter that caries energy from 1 place to another.


How can waves transport energy wwithout transporting matter from one place to another?

Waves transport energy by transferring the disturbance or oscillation created by the wave through a medium. As the wave travels, particles of the medium vibrate back and forth, passing on the energy without necessarily moving with the wave itself. This allows the energy to be transmitted from one place to another without the physical transfer of matter.


What is the disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another?

A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.


Do mechanical waves transfer matter?

No, waves do not transfer matter as they travel. When some waves travel they move particles around an average position. ------------------------------------------------------------- In reality elastic waves never transfer matter (nor particles, that are parts of matter) as far as classical oscillations are concerned. A discussion about wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics seems to me to be beyond the scope of this answer.


Can a mechanical wave transfer?

No waves do not transfer matter but it transfers only the energy


What is the matter through which a wave transfer energy?

MEDIUM


A disturbance in matter that carriers energy from one place to another is called?

A disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another is called a wave. Waves can be classified as mechanical, such as sound waves and ocean waves, or electromagnetic, such as light waves.


Do waves transfer or transport matter?

Waves transfer energy without transporting matter. The particles in a wave oscillate back and forth but do not move along with the wave itself. This is known as wave propagation.


What do waves not transport from oneplace to another?

Waves do not transport matter (except fot the matter equivalent of energy, according to the Theory of Relativity). For example, in a water wave, the wave moves on, but each water particle goes back to its place.Waves do not transport matter (except fot the matter equivalent of energy, according to the Theory of Relativity).
