Question

Doing the Mexican wave' in a sports stadium is when people stand and sit in a continuuous order. So as to make a wave [as looked from outside] people don't leave their respective seat and just move up and down. The wave, transverse in nature appears to be moving. Is this example of a real physical wave?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

A wave or a 'real' physics wave transports both momentum and energy which of course this wave doesn't do. [we are not talking about sports enthusiasm] This is not a real physics wave!
