Question 48

Ripples travel across the surface of water in a shallow tray and pass a small floating bead. In a second demonstration, sound travels through air from a loudspeaker to a microphone.

Describe what happens in these two demonstrations.

Your answer should include:

  • how the direction of oscillation differs between the water wave and the sound wave
  • features of each type of wave
  • observations showing that matter is not carried from the source to the other side
