I just want a simple explanation. For a wave on a string, how can we show energy transfer.berkeman said:Maxwell's equations and the Friis equation for antenna power transfer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friis_transmission_equation

Energy transfer is the movement of energy from one object or system to another. This can occur in various forms, such as heat, light, sound, or electric currents.
There are three main types of energy transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact, convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids, and radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves.
Waves transfer energy by causing particles in a medium to oscillate, or vibrate, back and forth. This energy is then passed from one particle to the next, creating a wave motion that carries the energy through the medium.
The factors that affect energy transfer by waves include the amplitude, frequency, and wavelength of the wave, as well as the properties of the medium through which the wave is traveling, such as density and temperature.
Energy transfer and waves play a crucial role in various aspects of everyday life. For example, we use waves to communicate through radio, TV, and internet signals; we harness energy from waves to generate electricity through wind and water turbines; and we use waves to cook food in a microwave or heat our homes with infrared radiation.
