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

Electromagnetic waves dont carry any matter what do they carry?
Electromagnetic waves carry energy, not matter.
How are electromagnetic (or light) waves different from water and sound waves?
Light waves and electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. Water waves can only travel through matter. Hope this helped!

How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
How are infrared waves and X-rays alike?
Infrared and X-ray are alike, in that both of them are electromagnetic waves, albeit different. Electromagnetic waves are "a phenomenon that takes the form of self-propagating waves in vacuum or in matter." (Wikipedia article) They are both parts of the Electromagnetic spectrum (Wikipedia article) The difference between the different wave of the spectrum is their wavelength ."The distance over which the waves shape repeats." (Wikipedia article)
Do waves transfer or transport matter?
No, electromagnetic waves do not.
Do electromagnetic waves need molecules to travel?
No, electromagnetic waves do not need matter to travel. However, they can interact with matter and change accordingly.
A wave that travels trough empty space or matter?
Both electromagnetic waves and gravity waves can travel through empty space. Gravity waves travel through matter as well; some electromagnetic waves may travel through some types of matter.
Waves that do not require matter to cary energy?
Electromagnetic Waves
What is Different between radio wave and elcetromagnetic wave?
That's like asking "What is different between children and people ?".Radio waves are electromagnetic waves.
How electromagnetic waves transfer energy to matter?
Electromagnetic waves transfer energy to matter by heating up matter and changing configuration of matter including fission, breaking matter up.
How mechanical and electromagnetic waves are similar.?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space.Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy.
