Question

What is wave motion? Write any fourcharacteristics of wave motion.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Wave Motion: The movement of a disturbance produced in one part of a medium to another involving the transfer of energy but not the transfer of matter is called wave motion. Examples: (i) Formation of ripples on the water surface. (ii) Propagation of sound waves through air or any other material medium.

Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\purple{Answer ࿐}}}}}}$

Wave motion is the transfer of energy and momentum from one point of the medium to another point of the medium without actual transport of matter between two points.

$\small \underline \red {\sf{ characteristics \ : }}$

• (i) It is the disturbance which travels forward through the medium but not through the particles of the medium.

• (ii) Each particle receives vibrations a little later than its preceding particle.

• (iii) The wave velocity is different from the velocity of the particles with which they vibrate about their mean positions.

• (iv) The wave velocity remains constant in a given medium, whereas particle velocity changes continuously during its vibrations about the mean position.
