Energy waves can travel through a vacuum. Electromagnetic waves and gravity travel through space. Ocean waves are mechanical. That is to say that a wave that uses matter to continue it's travel using vibrations is mechanical. Those waves can't travel through a vacuum because there is no matter to utilize.

What two type of waves transfer energy?
ALL waves transfer energy.
How does the amount of energy carried by electromagnetic waves vary by frequency?
You are asking two Questions at once: How does the energy of the different waves of the spectrum vary with frequency? and How does the energy of the different waves of the spectrum vary with wave length? f (Frequency) = c / Lambda.
How do two kinetic energies compare with one another?
You use the formula for kinetic energy for two different objects, inserting the corresponding speeds and masses, then you can compare them.

When burning two different foods to compare energy values what two factors must be kept the same?
temp and environment
What two things does Lady Ise compare in the tanka A flower of waves?
Flowers and Ocean Waves
How does the frequency of the waves compare in the two diagrams?
use an ruler
What are two kinds of energy that travels in waves?
Kinetic and electromagnetic energy can travel in waves.
What is the difference between potential energy and light energy?
They are two completely different things. Light energy is electromagnetic waves. (EM). Potential energy is the energy stored within matter.
If two waves traveling at the same speed have different frequencies which wave has more energy?
Which ever is the highest frequency
In terms of source what is the difference and similarities of sound waves and water waves?
Sound waves and water waves are similar in that they are both caused by vibrations and carry energy. They are different in that a sound waves are three dimensional, while water waves are just two dimensional.
