A wave is a disturbance that transfersenergyfrom one place to another without transferring matter. Waves transfer energy away from the source, or starting place, of the energy. The contact of raindrops or a stone on the surface of the water is the source of energy for the water waves. Wave...
Waves transfer energy, not matter. The matter might bounce up and down (transverse), or back and forth (longitudinal), but generally does not go anywhere.ShapesWe often show waves as simple "sine waves"But they can be a lot more interesting!In fact waves can add to each other in an ...
This lesson will discuss how waves transfer energy and the different types of energy that are moved through waves. This lesson will also discuss how waves are measured, and where they are found in the physical world. Ocean waves transfer energy, not matter....

show understanding that waves transfer energy without transferring matter. define speed, frequency, wavelength, period and amplitude. recall and apply the relationship velocity = frequency x wavelength to new situations or to solve related problems. compare transverse and longitudinal waves and give ...
waves carry energy, but they may carry it differently. Light and sound travel through different kinds of matter. For example, light waves cannot move through walls, but sound waves can. That is why you can hear people talking in another room even though you cannot see them. The energy of...

WAVES Wave - a periodic disturbance that propagates energy through a medium or space, without a corresponding transfer of matter. e.g.1 sound wave (regular. Wave – any disturbance that transmits energy through matter or space Medium – a substance through which a wave can travel. Can be ...
transfer energy from one place to another. Water waves produced by a boat travel outward, but matter does not move along with the waves. When the ball is thrown, energy is trans- ferred as matter moves from place to place. (l)file photo, (r)David Young-Wolff/PhotoEdit, Inc. ...
