Kiesha went out to breakfast with her mom. While they were at the restaurant, a parade went by. When a drummer in the parade hit his big bass drum with a mallet, waves like the ones shown in the picture formed in the water inside Kiesha's glass.
Which of the following is most likely the reason that Kiesha's water moved?
When the drummer hit the drum, it created heat which boiled the water.
Sound vibrations from the drum were transferred to the water.
Light reflected off the drum into Kiesha's glass, and the light made the water move.
Vibrations from the water were being transferred to the drum.
