Most waves all require something with mass to be transmitted. However, electromagnetic waves carry energy in the form of photons, which are massless. Since photons are massless, they are not considered matter, but they do indeed carry energy. (This is why something feels warmer when the sun shines on it.) Electromagnetic waves range anywhere from radio waves, microwaves, and the common visible light waves, to x rays, and gamma rays.

What do waves carry from place to place?

No, they do not. A wave transfers energy but the matter does not move forward with the wave.


What is a disturbance moving through a liquid solid or gas?

It may be called a "wave." Waves are a type of vibration that carry energy from molecule to molecule through matter. A "wave" can also be electromagnetic energy, which does not require matter to propagate.

What is the Wave called that requires matter to carry energy?

The wave that requires matter to carry energy is called a mechanical wave. In a mechanical wave, energy is transmitted through a medium such as water, air, or solids by the vibration or oscillation of particles in the medium. Sound waves and seismic waves are examples of mechanical waves.


Do waves carry energy through matter as mechancial waves?

Yes, waves can carry energy through matter as mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require a medium to travel through, such as water, air, or solid materials, and transfer energy by vibrating the particles of the medium in the direction of wave propagation.


What a wave does carry?

A wave carries energy or information through a medium, such as air or water. This energy or information is transferred from one place to another without the material of the medium itself moving with the wave.


What type of wave carries energy through matter.?

Mechanical waves carry energy through matter. These waves require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to travel. Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
