Energy can travel through empty space as electromagnetic waves (light, etc.), or as gravitational waves. Changes in the electric and magnetic field are also energy transfers without matter. However, please note that any energy has, by itself, an associated mass.
Infrared radiation does not require matter to transfer thermal energy. It can travel through vacuum, such as outer space, and is responsible for the heat we feel from the sun.
No, the movement of matter requires energy transfer. Energy is needed to overcome any resistance to movement, such as friction or inertia. Without energy transfer, matter would remain stationary or at rest.
The transfer of light energy to particles of matter is called absorption. When light interacts with matter, the energy from the light is absorbed by the particles, causing them to gain energy and potentially change their properties.
The transfer of light energy to particles of matter is known as absorption. When light interacts with matter, it can transfer its energy to the particles within the material, causing them to vibrate or move, which can lead to various effects such as heating or chemical reactions.
Waves can carry energy but not matter. In the case of mechanical waves, such as water waves or sound waves, the energy is transferred through the movement of the medium's particles. In contrast, electromagnetic waves, like light waves, can travel through a vacuum and transfer energy without the need for a medium.

Heat is NOT matter. Heat is not even energy. It is defined as the "transfer of energy", so it refers strictly to the PROCESS of the TRANSFER of energy. My prof explained this to me in class, apparently many people misunderstand this.

False. EM Waves do not transfer matter, they transfer energy.

No waves do not transfer matter but it transfers only the energy
