Question

Which statement best describes a wave?

a. the repetitive disturbance of particles within a medium.

b. a disturbance between particles in a material.

c. the energy contained in the particles of a medium.

d. a continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.

Answer 1

A continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wave is a disturbance which continuously transmit energy from one location to another. It does not transmit any mass. There are many types of waves like mechanical wave, electromagnetic wave, gravitational waves etc.

The speed of a wave is given by :

`v=\\u * \lambda`

`\\u` is the frequency of wave

`\lambda` is the wavelength of the wave

So, the correct option is (d) "a continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next".

Answer 2

Correct answer choice is:

D. A continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.

Step-by-step explanation:

Waves include the carrier of energy without the carrier of matter. In outcome, a wave can be characterized as a change that progresses into a medium, carrying energy from one spot (its source) to different spot without carrying matter.
