Question

mission wm1: nature and categories of waves
true or false:
as a water wave moves from the middle of the ocean
to the sandy shore, particles of water become
transported from locations far from shore to locations
closer to shore.

a. true
b. false

Explanation:

In wave motion (specifically for water waves), the particles of the medium (water) do not get transported with the wave. Instead, they oscillate around their equilibrium positions. So when a water wave moves towards the shore, water particles don't move from far offshore to near the shore; they just vibrate in place. Thus, the statement is false.

Answer:

b. False
