Radiation is the transfer of heat through vacuum (this is what takes place in space)

If heat is transferred by waves, we call it radiation. If it is transferred by particles in contact it is conduction, and if the particles move to carry the heat it is convection.

Can waves transfer energy through liquids and solids but not through gases or empty space?

Some waves can transfer energy only through liquids and solids, but not through gases or vacuum. Some waves, like sound waves, can transfer energy through gases, liquids and solids but not through vacuum. And some waves, notably electromagnetic waves, can transfer energy through vacuum as well as matter.

Where do waves transfer energy?

they transfer energy through sound water and air.


What is a disturbance that carries energy through matter and space?

That is basically the description of a WAVE.


What are waves that disturb matter?

Waves that disturb matter are called mechanical waves. These waves propagate as an oscillation of matter, thus transfer of energy through a medium occurs.


How does energy transfer by waves differ from energy transfer by a moving object?

In energy Transfer by waves, the energy moves through the the medium, for example the water, but isn't carrying the water with it. In energy transfer by a moving object the energy is traveling by means of an object. So, energy transfer by waves can be pictured as a person (the energy) swimming through water (the medium) and energy transfer through an object can be pictured as a person (the energy) riding a bicycle (the object) In the first case the energy itself is moving through a medium, where in the second case the energy is using its power to move by use of an object. Hope this helps you understand!


Can mechanical waves transfer energy through empty space?

No. Mechanical waves are utterly incapable of transfering energy through empty space.


What type of wave can transfer energy without medium?

the wave which does not travel through a medium is called electromagnetic wave.
