Question

theresa comes up with four examples of waves: sound wave, ocean wave, light wave, and hand wave. which of theresa’s examples is not an actual scientific wave?
○ sound wave
○ ocean wave
○ light wave
○ hand wave

Explanation:

In scientific terms, a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy. Sound waves (mechanical, longitudinal), ocean waves (surface waves), and light waves (electromagnetic) fit this definition. A hand wave is a physical gesture, not a scientific wave as it doesn't transfer energy in the way scientific waves do.

Answer:

D. Hand wave
