In a water wave, energy is carried by the movement of water molecules. As the wave travels, the energy is transferred from one water molecule to the next, causing them to oscillate in a circular motion. This movement of energy is what creates the visible wave pattern on the surface of the water.
Energy is being carried from particle to particle in a water wave, causing the particles to move in a circular motion as the wave passes through. This energy transfer enables the wave to propagate through the water.
Circular motion. Each water particle in an ocean wave moves in a circular path as the energy from the wave passes through.
When a wave passes over a water particle near the surface in the mid-Atlantic, the particle undergoes circular motion. As the wave crest approaches, the particle moves in the direction of the wave, then returns to its original position as the trough follows. The water particle itself does not significantly move horizontally, but rather moves in a circular path.
In a water wave, the energy transfer occurs through the oscillation of water particles. As the wave travels through the water, the energy is transferred from particle to particle through a combination of kinetic and potential energy. This movement of energy causes the water particles to move in a circular motion, allowing the wave to propagate.
The path a water particle takes as a wave passes in deep water is described as circular. As a wave passes, water particles move up and down in a circular motion but do not move forward with the wave itself. The circular motion decreases in size with depth.

Light is not carried by waves, it IS as wave an "electromagnetic" wave. Interestingly, it is also a particle, a "photon".
As the waveform approaches the shore, the particle will experience a circular motion. This is due to the orbital motion of the water particles that make up the wave. In essence, the particle will move in a circular pattern as the wave energy transports it towards the shore.

Wave.
the amplitude of a water wave is the maximum distance a water particle moves above or below the surface level of calm water.

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position of a particle in the wave. It represents the height of the wave in the case of a transverse wave or the amount of compression or rarefaction in the case of a longitudinal wave. Amplitude is a measure of the energy carried by the wave.
Yes, light exhibits properties of both a wave and a particle, known as wave-particle duality.
In a shear wave, the energy is carried perpendicular to the direction of particle motion. The particle motion in shear waves involves particles moving in a side-to-side or up-and-down direction, while the energy is propagated horizontally or vertically.
