Aim:<\/strong> To study the characteristics of waves. <\/p>\n Observation:<\/strong> From the above experiment, we can see that although the wave energy moves from the vibrating source, the particles are not carried along with the wave.

Figure shows water waves being formed when a few drops of water fall onto the surface of a pond. A wave is a travelling disturbance from a vibrating or oscillating source. As a wave travels, it carries energy along with it in the direction of its propagation.

\nMaterials:<\/strong> Polystyrene beads, water
\nApparatus:<\/strong> Ripple tank and its accessories
\nMethod:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\nThe polystyrene beads move up and down as the waves move forward. Figure illustrates the motion of the waves and the polystyrene beads.
\nDiscussion:<\/strong>
\nAs the waves move forward, the polystyrene beads do not move forward. Instead, they vibrate about their respective positions.
\nConclusion:<\/strong>
\nWaves transfer energy without transferring matter.<\/p>\n
