Chapter 12, Problem 3RQ
What is it that moves from source to receiver in wave motion?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The thing that moves from source to receiver in wave motion.
Answer to Problem 3RQ
The thing that moves from source to receiver in wave motion is energy.
Explanation of Solution
A wave is produced due to the wiggling of something in space and time. These waveforms need some medium to travel that are air, water, or other, depending upon the requirement. A wave that moves from source to the receiver carries energy along with it, from place to place. This can be seen by an example that, when the stone is thrown into stable water, the waves travel outward in the form of a circle.
The wave carries the energy of the stone in the form of a wave. Similarly, while speaking, the energy is carried in the form of a voice that a person can hear. So, energy moves from source to receiver in a wave motion.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the thing that moves from source to receiver in wave motion is energy.
