What is the term for the transfer of energy by a disturbance that moves through space?
wave
What kind of wave uses matter to transfer energy?
A sound wave or an ocean wave, for example
What does a wave transfer if the particles themselves do not move?
If the particles themselves do not move, then you have no wave, and nothing is transferred.If the particles are free to move about their rest positions, then you can have a wave, andit can transfer energy from place to place.
Does a sound wave transfer energy by moving the medium parallel to the motion of the wave?
yes
Can a mechanical wave transfer matter?
No waves do not transfer matter but it transfers only the energy

What is a wave transfer?
It is not "transfer". it has to be " Transverse" wave. When the particles of the medium does vibrations simple harmonically perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave then it is said to be transverse wave. Even electromagnetic wave too is a transverse wave as its electric and magnetic omponents are normal to the direction of propagation.
Is it true that radiation is the transfer of energy by electromsgnetic wave?
Electromagnetic wave, yes.
Can a mechanical wave transfer?
No waves do not transfer matter but it transfers only the energy

Does a sound wave transfer energy by moving the medium parallel to the motion of the wave?
yes
Can a mechanical wave transfer matter?
No waves do not transfer matter but it transfers only the energy
In a sound wave why does the vibrations and energy transfer go in the same direction?
A sound wave is a longitudinal wave.thus the vibratoins and energy transfer go in the same direction
What type of wave can transfer energy without medium?
the wave which does not travel through a medium is called electromagnetic wave.
How wave transfer energy?
A wave transfers energy by displacing molecules. They are displaced parallel to propagation.
What is a disturbance that carries energy through matter and space?
That is basically the description of a WAVE.
