That depends on the type of wave. An electromagnetic wave can be transmitted through a vacuum.

What is the material through which a wave transfers energy?
Thermal power plantThe term for such a material is "medium". Thus the sound of talking is carried by the medium air. The ocean waves exist in the medium water. Light is carried by the medium space. The plural is media.
What material can sound energy travel through slowly?
The more closely packed molecules are in a medium, the faster sound travels through the medium, so sound travels slowest through a gas under low pressure.
What passes through a medium?
energy is independent of medium it passes through?
Why is solar energy transferred to earth by radiation not convection?
Convection takes place through a material medium between source and sink. There isn't any material medium between sun and earth, and we are therefore thankful that radiation exists.
Creation of sound waves requires energy?
Yes definitely. That too the medium has to be a material medium. Because sound is nothing but the longitudinal vibrations produced in the material medium. Hence the transfer of sound energy is nothing but the transfer of this vibrational energy through the material medium.
Material through which a wave transfers energy?
Medium.
Can Wave energy can only be transmitted through material medium?
Depends what you understand by "material medium". You certainly don't need any matter. Both electromagnetic waves and gravitational waves travel through empty space (and of course, both transmit energy).

Medium for the wave?
The medium of any wave is the material that the wave energy travels through; in this case water.
What material do waves travel through?
They travel through a material medium.
The material through which a wave travels is?
The material through which a wave travels is called the medium.
What material can sound energy travel through slowly?
The more closely packed molecules are in a medium, the faster sound travels through the medium, so sound travels slowest through a gas under low pressure.
What passes through a medium?
energy is independent of medium it passes through?
Material through which a wave travels?
Known as material medium
