A wave in a medium transfers both kinetic energy and potential energy as it propagates. The kinetic energy corresponds to the motion of the individual particles in the medium, while the potential energy is associated with the forces between neighboring particles.
kinetic
No, the type of energy transferred by a wave in a medium is potential energy. Waves transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to oscillate or move. This transfer of energy is due to the potential energy stored in the medium's configuration.
True
A wave traveling in a medium transfers energy without transferring matter. The energy is transferred by the vibration of particles in the medium, causing a wave motion to propagate. The amplitude of the wave represents the energy of the wave.

True
When a wave is absorbed, its energy is transferred to the absorbing medium, causing the medium's particles to vibrate and dissipate the wave energy as heat. This results in a decrease in the amplitude of the wave as it propagates through the absorbing medium.
Yes, a sound wave is a mechanical wave. Sound waves need a medium (like air) to travel through. The energy of the wave, the mechanical energy, is transferred into the medium through which it is propagated.
In a mechanical wave, energy is transferred through the vibration of particles within the medium. As the wave passes through the medium, each particle moves back and forth, transferring kinetic energy to neighboring particles. This transfer of energy continues throughout the medium as the wave propagates.
When a wave moves through a medium, the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave's travel. The energy of the wave is transferred through the medium without causing a net movement of the medium itself.
Waves occur when energy is transferred through a medium by vibrating particles. The motion of the individual particles in the medium is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave itself is traveling. This type of wave is called a transverse wave.
