In electromagnetic waves energy is transmitted as electric and magnetic fields. In sound waves energy is transmitted as vibration of air particles. In water waves the energy is transmitted as vibration of water particles.

∙ 14y agoThe energy that travels by waves can be alot of things but the most popular energy that it travels in is sound you can tell this easily by the sounding of the answer eg; sound rays it doesn't sound right but when you say sound waves it has that ring to it like light rays, hope this answers your question.

^true, but there are prolly other ways. :)

Is amplitude a measure of a waves energy?
Not exactly. The amplitude of a mechanical wave means how much the particles move from their resting position. The amplitude of an electrical wave specificies how much the voltage or current varies, etc. The amount of energy for a specific wave does depend on the amplitude - more amplitude means more energy. However, the energy also depends on other factors.
What does a wave transfer if the particles themselves do not move?
If the particles themselves do not move, then you have no wave, and nothing is transferred.If the particles are free to move about their rest positions, then you can have a wave, andit can transfer energy from place to place.
What is required for a mechanical wave to move?
a source of energy for it to originate from, and a medium in which to move through
What moves in a wave?
The term "forward" is arbitrary. The waves propagate away from the energy source that created them or away from a reflective surface. In mechanical waves (such as ocean waves), the waves move through the medium (water), but the particles in the medium do not travel along with the waves, although they do oscillate in place as the wave passes through the medium.
How are wave vibrations related to energy and vibrations?
A wave is made by the moons tidal magnet. sometimes a wave is caused when two plates under the seat move causing waves from out at sea to get washed up onto the shaw. the energy from the earth makes the plates move, so that is how a wave is related to energy and vibration.
How does energy move by means of wave?
the particles vibrate Save
What wave matter move the same direction as the wave?
The matter transfers the energy, it does not move very far. It circles at approximately the same spot as the wave energy passes.
Is amplitude a measure of a waves energy?
Not exactly. The amplitude of a mechanical wave means how much the particles move from their resting position. The amplitude of an electrical wave specificies how much the voltage or current varies, etc. The amount of energy for a specific wave does depend on the amplitude - more amplitude means more energy. However, the energy also depends on other factors.
What do waves carry from place to place?
No, they do not. A wave transfers energy but the matter does not move forward with the wave.
How is the energy of a wave relate to its amplitude?
wavelength is the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next. In this diagram, the wavelength is measured from crest to crest, but the wavelength could be measured from trough to trough as well.A wave's amplitude is the maximum distance that a wave vibrates from its resting position. In a transverse wave, this means that the amplitude of the wave is the highest or lowest point. In a longitudinal wave, the amplitude is the maximum distance the wave travels back or forth. The more energy the wave has, the larger the amplitude will be.
Parts of water that don't move along with a wave?
Water does not move with a wave believe it or not. It moves up and down with the wave but a wave is just energy moving through something.
What does a wave transfer if the particles themselves do not move?

How does the wavelength relate to the amount of energy present in a wave?
the height of the wave means the same thing a wave would be kinetic energy at moments while other moments are potential energy.
How does wave energy move?
Mechanical waves, such as water and sound, convey energy via physical displacement of the medium, which creates and move potential energy along the direction of propagation. Electromagnetic waves convey energy directly in the coupled electric and magnetic wave itself.
