To choose: The correct option.
Answer to Problem 30R
Option B
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Waves are a form of energy.
Waves are generated due to disturbances or vibrations.When a wave travels from one point to other point it transfers the energy from initial point to the termination point.The energy is transferred by the waves. So, the option (B) is correct.
Waves so not transfer mater. So, the option A and C are incorrect.
Some waves need medium for propagation but they do not transfer medium.So, the option D is incorrect.
Conclusion:
Thus, the correct option is B
