Waves transfer energy in the form of mechanical energy, which causes particles in the medium (such as water or air) to move and oscillate. This movement of particles carries the energy of the wave through the medium.
Longitudinal waves transfer mechanical energy through compressions and rarefactions of the medium particles in the direction of wave propagation.
Transmitting energy involves sending it over a distance without any physical movement of the energy source itself, such as through wires or waves. Transferring energy involves the actual movement of energy from one object to another, where the energy is physically removed from one object and added to another.
Energy can be transferred when no matter is present by electromagnetic radiation, such as light or radio waves. However, the actual energy is matter, because matter and energy are convertible, simply different forms of each other, using Einstein's famous equation e = mc2.
Energy is transferred to the environment through various processes such as conduction (direct contact), convection (fluid movement), radiation (emission of electromagnetic waves), and chemical reactions (combustion). This transfer of energy helps maintain balance in ecosystems and regulate Earth's temperature.
In the ocean in the summer time when there are high tides and you see the BIG waves, in able for those waves to get so big, they need to have some type of energy transfered on to them so that the wave may be prosees.
electromagnetic waves are energy transfered through out medium which is energy
Longitudinal waves transfer mechanical energy through compressions and rarefactions of the medium particles in the direction of wave propagation.
Heat is transferred by energy waves moving through space.
Electromagnetic waves are transferred by electromagnetic radiation.
You are probably thinking of electromagnetic radiation, which covers a wide range of frequencies from long radio waves all the way up to gamma radiation. Other types of wave energy are sound and ocean waves, but these are quite different of course.
energy
All waves can travel from one place to another as long as they have a medium to travel through. The only waves that do not need a medium are electromagnetic waves. When using the word "transfer" though. Waves transfer energy; waves themselves are not transfered they simply travel.
kinetic energy is transfered to electric energy
Energy transfered in the form of electromagnetic waves is classified according to wavelength of the radiation. Radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays are all forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Isn't it because some of the energy gets transfered to thermal energy?
You really should learn how to read and write before asking a question on WikiAnswers. Energy CAN be transfered, and furthermore energy DOES get transfered.
