The energy is being transported. In the case of a light wave, it is electromagnetic energy. In the case of a sound wave, it is sound energy. (The matter is not being transported, only the energy.)
light waves travel through a matter, such as air water and others
No, light is energy in electromagnetic waves, it is not matter.
All light is transverse waves. All electromagnetic waves, for that matter.
light gas
No, light is not an example of matter. It is an example of electromagnetic waves. However, it is considered that light is composed of photons (massless particles) as well as waves by quantum physics.
sound waves
waves, light
Radio waves and light waves.
electromagnetic waves are longitudinal (like a slinky).
Then the light is said to be ABSORBED.
NO some waves like sound require matter to travel whereas light waves can travel in vacuum.
