Question

Information can be passed through

• A. By a particle moving from one place to another
• B. By a particle moving about its fixed position, and influencing the particle next to it to do the same, and passing the trend to subsequent particles.
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both A and B

As we have seen in the example of information being passed from one person to another, we can have information that passes through the movement of particles from one place to another, just as the middle man runs from the sender to the receiver to deliver the information. Information can also be passed through particles, where the particles don't move from one place to another. Instead. it just moves about its position, and influences the next particle to move as it did. This passing of information from one particle to another, without the particle actually getting displaced from its fixed position, is generally referred to as a wave.
