Question

In wave propagation, from one position to another position, what type of transfer takes place, ‘Energy or matter".

Answer 1

Answer:

Waves transfer energy but not mass

When we watch surf waves coming into shore, it’s easy to think that individual water particles are moving towards us, but that’s not actually the case. The particles involved in waves move back and forth perpendicularly to the way the wave is going, but don’t move significantly in the direction of the wave. The particles ‘take part’ in the wave by bumping into one another and transferring energy. This is why energy can be transferred, even though the average position of the particles doesn’t change.
