Question

A wave transfers _______ as it moves away from the source.

Answer 1

Answer:

A wave transfers energy as it moves away from the source.

Explanation:

A wave transfers energy as it moves away from the source. A wave is known to be a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfer energy from a point to the other without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself.

Let's take water as an example of a medium through which wave is transfered. As the water moves away from its source, the wave generates energy. The wave produces a motion which leads to transfer of kinetic energy as the medium moves from its source since kinetic energy is the energy acquired by a body by virtue of its motion.
