The idea is that energy is transferred from one point to another. A simple experiment with glass marbles is very illustrative. Put some marbles - say, 3 - in a straight row. Preferably in some kind of groove, so that they don't escape to the sides. Make a 4th. marble knock into the row of marbles from behind. The new marble stays right behind the last marble, but the first marble in the row gets away! Quite simply, the impulse was transferred from each marble to the next - the marbles themselves remained in place. Well, the ones in the middle at any rate.
Electromagnetic waves carry energy and information. Energy is transferred through the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields, while information can be encoded in the frequency, amplitude, and phase of the wave.
Yes, all waves carry energy but not matter. Waves transfer energy from one place to another but do not involve the physical displacement of matter.

Radiation, or electromagnetic waves do not require matter to carry energy.
it is energy
All waves carry energy. This energy can be transferred from one place to another without transferring matter.
Radio waves and light waves.
They don't
No, waves do not carry matter from place to place. Waves transfer energy from one point to another by causing vibrations in a medium, but the particles in the medium do not move with the wave.
because they just waves they are heavy most of the time
Sound.
Waves carry energy (frequencies), not matter.
