WAVES AND ENERGY

WAVES

If we drop a pebble in the still water in a pond water is disturbed and ripples are produced on its surface we cell them waves. These waves spread out in all direction from the place where the pebble hits and water particles begin to move up and down. Waves are very important for us. They transport energy from one place to another without transporting matter. What happens when we clap? Clapping makes the air particles vibrate to produce sound waves.
