Question
which one of these statements is usually true about waves? choose one option a all kinds of waves are the same size. b all waves move at the same speed.. c waves don’t move matter, just energy. d some waves do not move in a pattern.
Waves are a transfer of energy. They cause a disturbance that moves through a medium (or in the case of electromagnetic waves, through a vacuum), but the matter in the medium itself does not travel with the wave over long - distances. Different waves have different sizes (amplitudes) and speeds. Also, most waves move in a regular pattern.
