Consider these observations:

The electromagnetic waves from the sun heat up Earth’s surface and atmosphere.
Sound waves from an outdoor music concert can be heard at a distance from the concert venue.
Shear waves generated by an earthquake dissipate energy at a boundary between a solid and a liquid but do not travel through the liquid.
Which of the following can be inferred, based on these observations, about energy transfer by waves as the wave travels through a medium?

A
All waves transfer energy no matter what medium they travel through.

B
All waves need a gaseous medium to travel through in order to transfer energy.

C
All waves transfer energy by the net movement of particles of the medium.

D
All waves transfer energy equally well through all types of media.

Sagot :

Energy is transferred by waves as the wave travels through a medium All waves transfer energy no matter what medium they travel through. the correct answer is option(a).

A wave is a disturbance that shifts energy rather than actual substance from one location to another. Energy is transferred by waves away from its source, or initial location.

Energy is transferred via electric and magnetic field vibrations in electromagnetic waves. Energy is conveyed in sound waves by the vibrating of air molecules or the particles of the substance that the sound is traveling through. The vibration of the water molecules occurs during the transmission of energy in water waves. The medium's particles only vibrate stationary. As they vibrate, they transfer the disturbance's energy to the particles nearby, which then transfer it to the particles nearby, and so forth. The wave does not truly move together with the medium's particles.
