SSC MTS EXAM

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: -In electromagnetic waves, energy is transferred through vibrations of electric and magnetic fields. In sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of air particles or particles of a solid through which the sound travels. In water waves, energy is transferred through the vibration of the water particles.

Detailed explanation-3: -A wave transports its energy without transporting matter. Waves are seen to move through an ocean or lake; yet the water always returns to its rest position. Energy is transported through the medium, yet the water molecules are not transported.
