The matter through which waves transfers energy?
The matter through which waves transfers energy is a medium.
When waves travel from one point to another what is transferred through the medium?
When waves travel from one point to another energy is transferred through the medium. Waves are periodic vibrations or oscillations in a medium that propagate through the medium carrying energy in the form of the movement. Exceptions to this are light and gravity waves, which do not require a medium for propagation.
Do mechanical waves need a medium through which to transport energy?
Yes, mechanical waves need a medium. Electromagnetic wavs however, do not. Your welcome :)

Which type of wave can only transfer energy through a medium?
mechanical waves
The matter through which waves transfers energy?
The matter through which waves transfers energy is a medium.
What do electomagnetic waves do?
electromagnetic waves are energy transfered through out medium which is energy
Waves require a medium in order for energy to be transferred. waves can either travel through a medium or through empty space?
E.M. waves require no medium. Sound waves require a medium.
What is transferred through a medium?
Disturbances that transfer energy, or waves. Mechanical waves must have a medium to travel.

Which waves can go through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves are the only form of energy that does not need a medium for propagation.

What kind of wave does sound make?
Sound is a compression wave. Waves are basically movements in the medium through which energy travels. Compression waves cause the medium to move parallel to the energy movement. Electromagnetic waves, although they do not require a medium, move parallel to the transfer of energy.
Which type of wave can only transfer energy through a medium?
mechanical waves
How do mechanical waves transfers energy?
A wave is any disturbance that transmits energy through matter or space. Sound is a type of energy that requires waves traveling through matter. The material or substance through which a wave may travel is called the medium. The medium for a wave can be any of the common states of matter: solid, liquid, or gas. Sound waves require a medium. The medium does not move with the energy. Sound waves travel by vibration of particles. If there are no particles, there will be no sound. Waves that require a medium are called mechanical waves. (In addition to sound waves, ocean waves and seismic waves require a medium. Therefore ocean waves and seismic waves are mechanical waves.)
