Radiation is a common method of transferring energy. The light from the sun, or from your light bulb, reaches you via electromagnetic waves. These require no medium for their transmission.

Light energy travels in tiny particles?
yes. it travels as photons which are individual quantum of light, caused by the electrons losing quanta of energy
What energy travels to earth as what type of waves?
Light as particles and waves travel from the sun to earth as energy.
What happens to air as sound travels through it?
Sound is transmitted from a source to the surrounding air particles, which vibrate or collide and pass the sound energy along to our ears. Without any particles to vibrate we wouldn't hear the sound.
What happens to the particles in a longitudinal wave as the amplitude increases?
the speed at which the energy travels increases.
How is a possible for a sound wave to transmit energy but not matter?
Sound wave's transmit energy and not matter because sound travels from particle to particle transferring only energy. That is why when sound travels only the energy travels and the particles just collide with each other but stay in their positions.

In a longitudinal wave the energy of the wave moves?
The energy is not made of particles in the conventional sense. Particles of matter vibrate backwards and forwards along the direction of motion when a longitudinal wave travels. The particles possess kinetic energy.

What travels through a circuit to get energy?
In circuits electrons are the charged particles that move through the wires and bulbs.
What moves by giving particles a circular motion and are generate by energy that travels outward from the epicenter?
Seismic Waves
