Question

Sound waves that start in air can move into water. This is because it is __________ that is transferred and not_____________ . A) waves, matter B) energy, waves C) energy, particles D) particles, energy

Answer 1

The answer is C

Sounds is just energy think about it in outer space. How does light from the sun make it to earth but sounds from the solar flares don’t that’s because light has its own particles to travel through but sound doesn’t so it needs a media to travel through

Answer 2

Sound waves that start in air can move into water. This is because it is ENERGY that is transferred and not PARTICLES .

C) Energy, Particles

Step-by-step explanation:

Wave propagation is the transfer of energy or disturbance through the medium.

Here we know that when energy is transferred through the medium the medium particles will remains at their own position and energy is transferred from one particle to other without the displacement of the medium from their own position.

So here in waves the energy is transmitted through the medium while the medium will remain at its own position

So correct answer will be

Sound waves that start in air can move into water. This is because it is ENERGY that is transferred and not PARTICLES .
