Does a wave transfer matter from one place to another?
It can depending on the medium.
What are waves that disturb matter?
Waves that disturb matter are called mechanical waves. These waves propagate as an oscillation of matter, thus transfer of energy through a medium occurs.
Do waves transfer into medium?
yes! as a matter of fact they do!
Does an electromagnetic wave use matter to transfer energy?
No, an electromagnetic wave does not require matter (a medium) to transfer energy. Electromagnetic energy (like light or radio waves) travels perfectly well in the vacuum of space. In contrast, a mechanical wave, of which sound is an example, does require a medium through which to travel.
What is the matter that waves use to transfer energy?
The matter that waves use to transfer energy is called the medium. The medium actually carries the energy of the wave. Sound is a good example of mechanical energy, and it requires a medium to travel. The energy created at the source is transferred into the medium, and the medium carries it forward in transmission (propagation).
What is the matter through which a wave transfer energy?
MEDIUM

Why does sound move more rapidly -or slowly- through one medium than another?
Generally, the density of the transfer medium and its temperature determines the rate of transfer of sound energy. The more dense the medium and the higher its temperature, the faster sound will travel through it.

How are electromagnet waves different from mechanical waves?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space or a medium while mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy.Apex- They don't require a medium to travel through.
What waves transfer from one place to another?
All waves can travel from one place to another as long as they have a medium to travel through. The only waves that do not need a medium are electromagnetic waves. When using the word "transfer" though. Waves transfer energy; waves themselves are not transfered they simply travel.

What three ways can heat travel through substances?
Conduction - Process of heat transfer through a medium or material without any movement of the medium or material. Convection - transfer of heat from one place to another through the movement of fluids. A fluid with a given density rises within a fluid of greater density and sinks within in a fluid of smaller density. Radiation - transfer of heat, in the form of waves from one place to another without a medium.
What is the matter that waves use to transfer energy?

Sound is a good example of mechanical energy, and it requires a medium to travel. The energy created at the source is transferred into the medium, and the medium carries it forward in transmission (propagation).
What type of wave can transfer energy without medium?
the wave which does not travel through a medium is called electromagnetic wave.
Matter through which a waves travels?
"A compressible medium." "A displaceable medium."
