Detailed explanation-1: -A wave carries energy from a source to a point some distance away. A wave is reflected by a barrier. The reflected wave moves away from the barrier at an angle that is equal to the angle with which the incoming wave moved towards the barrier. When a wave is slowed down, it refracts-that is, changes direction.

Detailed explanation-2: -To summarise, waves carry energy. The amount of energy they carry is related to their frequency and their amplitude. The higher the frequency, the more energy, and the higher the amplitude, the more energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Waves transfer energy but not mass The particles ‘take part’ in the wave by bumping into one another and transferring energy. This is why energy can be transferred, even though the average position of the particles doesn’t change.

Detailed explanation-4: -A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.

Detailed explanation-5: -A wave is a disturbance that travels or propagates from the place where it was created. Waves transfer energy from one place to another, but they do not necessarily transfer any mass.
