Chapter 15: Wave Motion

"CHAPTER-OPENING QUESTIONS - Guess now!
You drop a rock into a pond, and water waves spread out in circles.
(a) The waves carry water outward, away from where the rock hit. That moving water carries energy outward.
(b) The waves only make the water move up and down. No every is carried outward from where the rock hit.
(c) The waves only make the water move up and down, but the waves do carry energy outward, away from where the rock hit."
