What is a traveling disturbance of energy called?
A wave is some disturbance that travels through a medium, creating motion that propagates through the medium from one location to another. This wave can carry energy from its source to another location.
What wave is a disturbance that transfers from one place to another?
Mechanical Waves A wave is a disturbance that travels or propagates from the place where it was created. Waves transfer energy from one place to another, but they do not necessarily transfer any mass. Light, sound, and waves in the ocean are common examples of waves.
What do you call a disturbance that moves away from a source and carries energy with it?
A wave is a periodic disturbance that moves away from a source and carries energy with it. • For example, earthquake waves show us that the amount of energy carried by a wave can do work on objects by exerting forces that move objects from their original positions.
Is a disturbance which travels through a medium in which energy is transferred?
wave
A wave is a disturbance that travels through matter or space, accompanied by a transfer of energy. medium vibrate when a wave passes through the medium.
What is a disturbance that transfers energy through ocean water?
A wave is a disturbance. Waves can transfer energy over distance without moving matter the entire distance. For example, an ocean wave can travel many kilometers without the water itself moving many kilometers. The water moves up and down—a motion known as a disturbance.
What is a disturbance caused by energy moving through a system in a cyclical pattern?
A sound wave is the pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium, such as air, water or any other liquid or solid matter, as it propagates away from the source of the sound.
What is a single disturbance?
A wave is a continuous and repeating disturbance of a medium and a pulse is a single disturbance.
What is a disturbance that travels through a medium?
A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location. Consider a slinky wave as an example of a wave.
