Question

A sound wave is produced in a metal cylinder by striking one end. Which of the following occurs as
the wave travels along the cylinder?
a. Its frequency increases
b. It transfers matter
C. It transfers energy
d. Its amplitude increases

Answer 1

Answer:

C. It transfers energy

Explanation:

As the metal cylinder is strike at one end, energy is being transferred.

• A wave is a disturbance that transmits energy from one point to another.
• All waves are prominent for their energy transfer potentials.
• Waves do not move materials of the medium.
• The frequency of the wave does not increases same with the amplitude.
• The most important thing about a wave is the ability to transmit energy
