Can mechanical waves carry energy?
Yes.
Do waves carry energy through matter as mechancial waves?
I suppose you mean whether mechanical waves carry energy? The answer is yes.
What travels by waves?
By mechanical waves matter plus energy is traveled.Electro magnetic waves carry only energy.
What wave travels through only matter?
Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.
What is true for both transverse and longitudinal wave?
Both Carry Energy, Both are Mechanical waves, Both carry Matter
What do waves carry as they move?
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
What kind of wave carries energy?
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
Can mechanical waves carry energy?

True or false electromagnetic waves carry mechanical energy?
True. DE is pressure P=Energy/volume a component of Mechanical energy, PV. Light waves can move a radiometer vane.
Is sound waves mechanical or waves?
Mechanical
How em waves different from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
