Types of Waves and Energy Transfer

What does every type of wave transfer?

A. color
B. energy
C. heat
D. matter

Answer:

B

energy because not all does heat, matter, nor color...sooo

Nina learns about different types of waves in her science class. Each and every type of wave transfer energy. The correct option is B.

What is a wave?

A wave is a disturbance that travels or propagates from its point of origin. Waves transfer energy from one location to another, but not necessarily mass. Waves are commonly represented by light, sound, and ocean waves.

Waves are categorized into two categories: longitudinal as well as transverse.

Transverse waves are similar to those that occur on water, with the surface moving up and down, whereas longitudinal waves are similar to those found in sound, with alternating compressions and rarefactions in the medium.

Energy is transferred in electromagnetic waves via vibrations of electric and magnetic fields.

Sound waves transfer energy through the vibration of air particles or solid particles through which sound travels. Water waves transfer energy through the vibration of water particles.

Thus, the correct option is B.
