Waves and Energy Transfer Concepts

What fundamental quantity do waves transfer from one place to another?

• Matter

• Energy

• Particles

• Mass

How do the particles of a medium vibrate in relation to the direction of energy transfer in a longitudinal wave?

• Perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer

• In a circular motion

• Parallel to the direction of energy transfer

• Randomly, without a specific direction

Which of the following is an example of a longitudinal wave?

• Light waves

• Water waves

• Sound waves

• Radio waves

In a transverse wave, what is the relationship between the vibration of the medium's particles and the direction of the wave's energy transfer?

• The particles vibrate parallel to the wave's direction

• The particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave's direction

• The particles do not vibrate; only the energy moves

• The particles move in the same direction as the wave
