Do waves carry mass?

As a first approximation, they usually don't. However, since they carry energy, according to the equivalence of mass and energy, that means they also carry a tiny amount of mass.


What type of waves are sound waves longitudinal or converse waves?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves because the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. This means that the particles move back and forth in the same direction that the sound wave is traveling.


What do machanical waves use to transfer energy?
