What kind of wave transfers energy but no matter?
water waves ? Electromagnetic waves are an obvious example. Generally, it is a characteristic of waves that matter is not transferred.
Is light matter?
No, light is not an example of matter. It is an example of electromagnetic waves. However, it is considered that light is composed of photons (massless particles) as well as waves by quantum physics.
Is radio waves matter or non-matter?
No, radio waves are not matter.
What is a disturbance that carries energy through matter and space?
That is basically the description of a WAVE.
What states of matter can a medium be?
It depends. Is it a mechanical wave or a electromagnetic wave? Mechanical waves (for example sound waves) travel trough every state of matter and they can't exist without matter. They don't travel through vacuum. Electromagnetic waves travel trough space and get interrupted only by other electromagnetic waves.
Are waves an example of matter?
No. While waves can travel through matter the waves themselves are a means of transferring energy.
Are water waves an example of matter?
Yes, they are.

Is light an example of matter?
No, light is not an example of matter. It is an example of electromagnetic waves. However, it is considered that light is composed of photons (massless particles) and it is applied to it some theories of matter.
An example of how electromagnetic energy can cause changes in matter?
Waves and Light
What state of matter travels through waves?
It depends. Is it a mechanical wave or a electromagnetic wave? Mechanical waves (for example sound waves) travel trough every state of matter and they can't exist without matter. They don't travel through vacuum. Electromagnetic waves travel trough space and get interrupted only by other electromagnetic waves.
What is an example of how electromagnetic energy can cause changes in matter?
Waves, light, and visble light.
Is radio waves matter or non-matter?
No, radio waves are not matter.
What is different between electromagnetic and matter waves?
Electromagnetic waves are very much different from the matter waves and in many ways. a) Speed of matter waves is very much less than the speed of electromagnetic waves. b) Matter waves cannot be radiated in empty space unlike electromagnetic waves. c) Matter waves are just associated with the particle, not emitted by it Matter waves have smaller wave lengths than electromagnetic waves
