The water particles move in a circular motion. They swing forward and then back. The water itself does not really move to the shore. If that happened, the beach you would be on would be overflowing with water. The water particles just do a little jolt along with the wave. Then, they return to their original position.

∙ 8y agoit is in the form of transverse waves.in this particle oscillates vertically.in this process,energy is gained by next particle ,which again oscillates in same way

Which kind of wave is a water wave?
A wave in a body of water is a traveling transverse wave because the motion of the medium (water) is perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
Is the wave transport water molecules from the source of vibration?
Water does not travel along with the wave. As the wave moves over the water, each little piece of water moves up and down and forward and back, but after the wave has moved on the water is in the same place. That is a common feature of wave motion. The energy is passed along the wave but the medium itself does not move with the wave.
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate in which direction?
The molecules vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation or motion.
How would you describe the motion of a buoy when a water wave passes?
It is a damped harmonic motion.
What type of wave is sea waves?
A wave in sea or ocean is a transverse wave produced by oscillation of water perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.
What part of the water is affected by a wave in deep water?
The water molecules of a deep-water wave move in a circular motion. The diameter of the motion decreases with the distance from the surface. The motion is felt down to a distance of approximately one wavelength, where the wave's energy becomes negligible.
How does the wave transport water molecules from the source of the vibration?
When a wave travels through water, it causes the water molecules to move in a circular motion in the direction of the wave propagation. This circular motion transfers energy from molecule to molecule as the wave passes by, eventually carrying the water molecules along with it. This is how water molecules are transported from the source of the vibration by the wave.

Which statement is true regarding the motion of liquid water molecules and ice molecules?
Liquid water molecules exhibit a greater amount of motion than ice molecules.
What is the motion of the air molecules that carry sound?
They rapidly compress and rarefy in the direction of the sound wave as the wave travels.
What motion do molecules move when in cold water?
does molecules move in cold water
Describe water movement when a wave passes through it?
As an ocean wave passes, the water moves up and down in a circular pattern and returns to its original position.
The movement of water molecules in a wave and wave movement?
go to heaven
Is water wave is a vibratory motion?
yes
What kind of motion does a wave produce?
water
What happens to the motion of the particles in a water wave as depth increases?
The motion of the particles in a water wave decreases as depth increases because the energy from the wave at the surface losses it's power.
