Question

A sound wave is a means of transporting energy without transporting matter. True or false

Answer 1

false

Explanation:

It is the disturbance that moves from the tuning fork to one's ear. the particles of the medium merely vibrate back and forth about the same location, never really moving from that location to another location. This is true of all waves - they transport energy without actually transporting matter

Answer 2

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A sound wave is a form of energy. Sound waves are longitudinal waves in which the particles of the medium execute a to and fro motion. The sound waves originate when there is a disturbance in the medium. This disturbance is produced due to the energy transfer from another source. The energy thus acquired is transferred through the medium in the form of longitudinal waves. But the particles tend to remain in their mean position after every vibration. So, we can say that sound waves are transporting energy without transporting matter.
