Some forces, such as gravity or the electrostatic force, can act without direct contact. If a force is applied over a certain distance (such as, when an object falls), work is done, i.e., energy is transferred.
Ah, but what is direct contact? One electrostatic field pushing against another? If I touch something, it is the electrostatic fields pushing against each other. There is no direct contact!
Radiation is the type of energy transfer that can occur in empty space.
Energy transfer by radiation.
Radiation.
The type of energy transfer that can take place with little or no matter present is radiation.
radiation
transfer energy by vibrating particles of matter
No waves do not transfer matter but it transfers only the energy
Electromagnetic waves transfer energy to matter by heating up matter and changing configuration of matter including fission, breaking matter up.

Radiation does not require matter.
False. EM Waves do not transfer matter, they transfer energy.
Radiation can go right through empty space.
Waves can transfer energy.
