Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy without a what?
"medium"
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 wave does not require a medium for energy transfer?
Electro-magnetic waves.
How does energy transfer by waves differ from energy transfer by a moving object?
In energy Transfer by waves, the energy moves through the the medium, for example the water, but isn't carrying the water with it. In energy transfer by a moving object the energy is traveling by means of an object. So, energy transfer by waves can be pictured as a person (the energy) swimming through water (the medium) and energy transfer through an object can be pictured as a person (the energy) riding a bicycle (the object) In the first case the energy itself is moving through a medium, where in the second case the energy is using its power to move by use of an object. Hope this helps you understand!
Which type of wave can only transfer energy through a medium?
mechanical waves

What is transferred through a medium?
Disturbances that transfer energy, or waves. Mechanical waves must have a medium to travel.

mechanical waves
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 type of waves can only transfer energy through a medium?
Mechanical Waves-answered by Victoria Scott
What type of waves are sound waves and how do they transfer energy?
Sound is manifested as a compression wave in a medium. the energy compresses and rarefies the medium transferring the energy to another location (and getting dissipated along the way).
