Question 21 • FL-2003310-Physical Science - Teacher Directed Resource

Which statement best describes how waves carry energy?

Answer
A
Energy moves from one place to another through the wave.
B
Energy increases as it moves through the wave.
C
Energy is completely consumed by the beginning of the wave.
D
Energy builds through the wave and is released at the end.

Explanation

A wave transfers energy from one place to another. As the wave travels, it carries energy, while the material it moves through generally oscillates around its position rather than traveling along with the wave. So the best statement is “Energy moves from one place to another through the wave.”
