Question

What is transmitted by all waves? energy mass matter sound

Answer 1

Answer: energy

Explanation: A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy as it travels through medium.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

All waves can carry energy, and this energy can be high or low. The waves that carry high energy are commonly known as the high energy waves such as X-rays and gamma rays. On the other hand, those waves that can carry low energy are considered to be low-energy waves such as radio waves.

There are two types of waves that carry energy, namely the electromagnetic wave and the longitudinal waves.

In the case of electromagnetic waves, the energy is transported in the form of vibrations of both electric as well as magnetic field. Whereas, in the case of longitudinal waves such as sound waves, this energy is carried through a medium in which the sound propagates.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
