Does a sound wave transfer energy by moving the medium parallel to the motion of the wave?
yes
What wave does not require a medium for energy transfer?
Electro-magnetic waves.
Which type of wave can only transfer energy through a medium?
mechanical waves
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 type of wave can transfer energy without medium?
the wave which does not travel through a medium is called electromagnetic wave.
Electromagnetic wave can transfer energy without?
a medium
What is the matter through which a wave transfer energy?
MEDIUM

What is needed in transmation of suond?
Actually wave is a disturbance in the medium. For transfer of sound wave the medium is required.(gas, liquid or solid). the sound wave transfers energy with the molecules of medium by the molecule to molecule the wave will spread out until, the complete loose of energy of the wave.

Can a electomagnetic wave thransfer energy without a medium?
Sure it can
What kind of wave does sound make?
Sound is a compression wave. Waves are basically movements in the medium through which energy travels. Compression waves cause the medium to move parallel to the energy movement. Electromagnetic waves, although they do not require a medium, move parallel to the transfer of energy.
