Basically no - a wave transfers energy. However, please note that (according to the Special Theory of Relativity), any energy has some associated mass. Thus, for example, the huge amount of light radiated from the Sun in a single second has a mass of 4 million tons. In most everyday situations, the amount of associated mass is insignificant.

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 wave carry matter and energy?

What is a wave and what does it carry?

A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium or space. It carries energy from one place to another without transporting matter.


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.


Do waves carry matter from place to place?

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.


Electromagnetic waves dont carry any matter what do they carry?

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.


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.
