wave is a wiggle in space and time. it carries energy and nothing else
A sound wave is the vibrations in the medium that transfers energy from one end to another. Longitudinal waves
Energy flows from one type toanother following the laws of thermodynamics. The 1st law states that no energy is created or destroyed, and the 2nd law states that energy will move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration or that the entropy of a closed system will remain constant or diminish.

Transport
It is important to know the speed of a wave, because this is the speed at which the energy it carries is transferred from one place to another
If the color (frequency, wavelength) of each is the same, then each photon carries the same amount of energy. Three of them carry three times the energy that one of them carries.
