Water waves transfer energy by displacing water particles as the wave travels through the water, causing them to move in a circular motion. However, the water particles themselves do not travel with the wave - they only oscillate in place. This transfer of energy without the transfer of matter is known as wave propagation.
Energy in a wave moves by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer energy from one particle to another. As the wave propagates, the energy is carried forward through the medium without the particles themselves actually moving with the wave. This transfer of energy allows the wave to continue propagating through the medium.
As the energy wave moves through the water, the still water particles start to oscillate or move in a circular motion. The particles transfer energy to neighboring particles causing them to also move in a wave-like pattern. This movement is what we perceive as the wave passing through the water.
Mechanical waves do not transfer matter; they transfer energy and momentum. This means that while the wave causes particles in the medium to oscillate, the particles themselves do not travel with the wave as it propagates.
When a wave passes by, particles in the medium oscillate back and forth in the direction perpendicular to the wave's propagation. This movement of particles is what allows the wave to transfer energy through the medium.

P-wave particles move in the same direction as the wave's propagation, which is the direction of energy transfer. This movement is back and forth in the direction of the wave.

A wave in a rope is a transverse wave because the motion of the particles is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves because particles move parallel to the direction of energy transfer.
No, mechanical waves transfer energy through a medium (such as air, water, or solids) by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. However, the particles themselves do not travel along with the wave.
As the wave energy passes through the water, the water particles themselves do not move with the wave. Instead, the particles oscillate in a circular motion, transferring energy from one particle to the next. The particles end up returning to their original position after the wave has passed.
In a wave, particles move in a periodic motion back and forth or up and down. This movement transfers energy through the medium of the wave without permanently displacing the particles themselves. The specific type of particle motion can vary depending on the type of wave, such as longitudinal or transverse waves.
Waves transfer energy without transporting matter. The particles in a wave oscillate back and forth but do not move along with the wave itself. This is known as wave propagation.
No, individual particles of a medium do not move along with a wave. Instead, they oscillate back and forth in a motion perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This motion of particles helps to transfer the energy of the wave through the medium.
