Questions and Answers

What is wave motion?

  • Transfer of both matter and energy without momentum
  • Transfer of energy and momentum without the transport of matter (correct)
  • Transfer of matter without the transport of energy and momentum
  • Transfer of momentum without the transport of energy and matter

How are standing waves different from progressive waves?

  • Progressive waves do not transfer energy and momentum between particles of the medium, while standing waves do.
  • Standing waves transfer energy and momentum between particles of the medium, while progressive waves remain confined without transfer of energy and momentum.
  • Standing waves propagate through the medium, while progressive waves do not propagate.
