Question
waves transfer energy, not matter. true false
Waves, such as water waves or sound waves, move energy from one place to another. For example, in a water wave, the water particles move up and down (or in a circular motion near the surface), but they do not travel long - distances with the wave. The wave itself can carry energy (like the energy that can knock down a sandcastle at the beach). In the case of a sound wave, air molecules vibrate back and forth, transferring the energy of the sound (like the energy that allows us to hear music) without the air molecules moving from the source of the sound to our ears in a bulk - matter transfer.
