Question
Chapter 3, Problem 1D
To determine
The meaning of wavemotion.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
A wave transfers energy from one location to another without the physical movement of the material between the locations. And, the motion in which the energy is transferred by a disturbance of some sort in the distinctive repetitive patternis termed as wave motion.
The sound waves travelling in the air, or the ripples formed in a lake when a stone is thrown into it are the examples of the wave motion.
