In reality wherever there is harmony or matching then energy would be easily handed over or transferred. Same way as the electron status in an atom is in harmony with the falling electromagnetic radiation then that energy would be absorbed by the electron and so the electron would go to the higher energy level. This is what we call excitation. This is how heat is getting transferred to the molecules of fluid, atoms of solid etc. Light too gets absorbed by the leaves in the process of photo synthesis.

How electromagnetic waves transfer energy to matter?
Electromagnetic waves transfer energy to matter by heating up matter and changing configuration of matter including fission, breaking matter up.
What types of energy and matter does the sun release?
Radiant energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. Matter in the form of charged, uncharged and massless particles
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 transmits energy but not mass?
technically all waves transfer energy and not matter. A sound wave for example does move matter, but it does not transfer matter over the distance of the wave. If you are asking about waves that do not need matter as a medium, the best answer would be light waves. Light waves are produced by photons and although photons are effected by gravity, it is currently believed that they probably have no mass.
What is a disturbance that carries energy through matter and space?
That is basically the description of a WAVE.

Is light kinetic or potential energy?
good answer but its none of them light energy is radiant energy
How mechanical and electromagnetic waves are similar.?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space.Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy.
How does radiant waves transfer heat energy?
By exciting the atoms in the matter. Pr. definition, heat is the jiggling of atoms, the radiant energy is shaking the atoms, by doing this the heat is transferred and absorbed.

What are some forms of energy that are related to changes in matter?
Forms of energy related to changes in matter may include kinetic, potential, chemical, electromagnetic, electrical, and thermal energy.

How do you transfer electromagnetic radiations into chemical energy?
There are a couple of ways of converting electromagnetic energy (sunlight) into chemical energy. First, grow plants. The chlorophyll in the plants convert sunlight and water into plant matter. Trees grow into wood, olive trees can be harvested for oil, and almost any kind of vegetable matter can be converted into alcohol. Second, use a solar power cell to charge a battery.
How does energy get its power?
energy get its power from the radiant energy and from the matter that the energy get its energy.
