When a wave crashes on the beach, a child exclaims that the particles in the water wave may have traveled all the way across the world. What is wrong with her reasoning?
A. waves cannot travel long distances
B. The particles in a wave tend to fall off as the wave travels.
C. Waves do not transmit matter.
D. waves do not have enough energy to transmit a water particle across the world.

C. Waves do not transmit matter.

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance that transmits energy from one point to another.

Waves are simply means of transferring energy form places to places without moving the materials of the medium.

The particles of wave are not simply transported from one part to another, in water waves only the energy moves.

It will be a wrong assertion to claim that water waves transmits particles from one place to another round the world.
