Waves can transfer energy.
Electromagnetic waves transfer energy to matter by heating up matter and changing configuration of matter including fission, breaking matter up.
No waves do not transfer matter but it transfers only the energy
Yes, waves can and do transfer energy. When the particles vibrate, this means energy is then being transferred. However, they do not transfer matter.
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.

False. EM Waves do not transfer matter, they transfer energy.
Radiation, or electromagnetic waves do not require matter to carry energy.
