Waves Review

What are waves?

• Disturbances that travel through space or matter and carry energy from one place to another

• Objects that remain stationary in water

• Solid materials that block energy

• Particles that do not move

What happens when a wave travels through a medium like water or air?

• It carries energy from one place to another

• It remains stationary

• It disappears completely

Which types of waves do we encounter most often?
