Want this question answered?
Water waves have mechanical energy.
ALL waves transfer energy.
Mechanical energy
No. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic waves.
The poor wording of the questions makes it hard to know exactly what the questioner wants to know, but assuming it is meant to say something like 'What type of wave transfers thermal energy?', the answer is infra-red waves. However other types of waves can cause heating effects by secondary methods.
The most effective frequencies for heating are in the infra-red part of the spectrum

the answer is electromagnetic energy and visible light is an example it is a form of energy that travels through space as waves.
No. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic waves.

Light as particles and waves travel from the sun to earth as energy.
electromagnetic waves are longitudinal (like a slinky).
Radiant energy. They are the first type of wave in the electromagnetic spectrum.
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.
"Radiation waves" is not a very precise term; it might refer to visible light, to other electromagnetic waves such as radio waves or x-rays, etc., to sound waves, including ultrasound, and perhaps a few more. The details of absorption may vary, depending on the type of waves - as well as on the frequency. But in general, when radiation energy is absorbed, it is converted into some other type of energy, such as raising electrons to a higher level, and eventually heating the substance that absorbs it up.
