If a wave can transfer momentum, can it also transfer angular momentum ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Wave Propagation**: - Waves propagate through a medium by causing the particles of the medium to oscillate. These oscillations can be either transverse (perpendicular to the direction of wave travel) or longitudinal (parallel to the direction of wave travel). 2. **Linear Oscillations**: - The particles in a wave oscillate back and forth around their equilibrium positions. This motion is linear, meaning that the particles move in a straight line rather than rotating around a point. ...
