Given the question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Waves that travel through mattersuch as the fabric of a flagare called mechanical waves. The matter they travel through is called the medium. When the energy of a wave passes through the medium, particles of the medium move. The more energy the wave has, the farther the particles of the medium move. The distance the particles move is measured by the wave's amplitude. Q: What term describes waves that travel through matter? Choices: - replaced waves - water waves - heat waves - mechanical waves A:
The answer is:
mechanical waves
