Question

Which of the following (s) is carried by the waves in moving from one place to another?

• A. Mass
• B. Momentum
• C. Disturbance
• D. Energy

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

Energy

Explanation for correct options:

Option B: Momentum:

1. The disturbance in which energy is transferred from one point to another without any direct contact between them is known as a wave.
2. A wave transfers its energy without transferring its matter.
3. The product of mass and velocity is known as momentum.
4. Thus, momentum is carried by the waves in moving from one place to another.

Option C: Disturbance:

1. The disturbance in which energy is transferred from one point to another without any direct contact between them is known as a wave.
2. Thus, disturbance is carried by the waves in moving from one place to another.

Option D: Energy:

1. A wave transfers its energy without transferring its matter.
2. Thus, energy is carried by the waves in moving from one place to another.

Explanation for incorrect option:

Option A: Mass:

1. A wave transfers its energy without transferring its matter.
2. Thus, mass is not carried by the waves in moving from one place to another.

Hence, the correct options are Option B, Option C and Option D.
