What is a disturbance that moves through some type of matter or space?
A wave is a disturbance that moves through matter or space by transferring energy without transferring matter. Waves can be classified as mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, or electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves.
Which type of wave travels by pushing and pulling on the matter it travels through?
Mechanical waves travel by pushing and pulling on the matter they travel through. Sound waves and seismic waves are examples of mechanical waves.
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.
Which type of waves require matter in order to travel?
Mechanical waves require matter in order to travel. These waves propagate through a medium such as water, air, or a solid material by transferring energy through the vibration of particles in the medium. Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
What type of wave can move through space?
Light waves do, but sound waves cannot, because in space is no medium to carry the vibration. Radio, TV and others can travel in space also.
What type of seismic waves can travel through all states of matter?
Primary waves, or P-waves, are the type of seismic waves that can travel through all states of matter, including solids, liquids, and gases. They are compressional waves that move by alternately compressing and expanding the material through which they travel. This ability to move through different states of matter distinguishes P-waves from secondary waves (S-waves), which can only propagate through solids.
What are waves that travel through matter called?
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.

What type of seismic wave travels through liquid?
P-waves, or primary waves, are the type of seismic waves that can travel through liquids. These waves are compressional and move by alternately compressing and expanding the material they pass through. Unlike S-waves (secondary waves), which cannot travel through liquids, P-waves can move through both solid and liquid mediums, allowing them to be detected by seismographs even when they travel through the Earth's outer core.
Do waves move the material though which the wave travels?
Depends on the type of wave. For example, sound makes air oscillate, but the air doesn't go anywhere Electromagnetic waves ie. microwaves, visible light, x rays, radio waves, can travel through a vacuum but if they travel through for example the air, or glass, or water they don't move the material through which they move. Mechanical waves are waves which involve the vibration (oscillation) of the particles of the material through which they move. The particles vibrate up and down, or backwards and forwards, but are not carried along with the wave. This is part of the definition of a wave, that a wave transmits (moves along) energy, not matter, the matter, if any is involved, just vibrates.
What type instrument produce transverse wave?
If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.
What is energy transferred through matter by waves?
That energy may be called different things, depending on the type of waves considered.
Which type of waves travel by pushing and pulling on the matter it travels through?
primary wave
