Waves Review Part I

The type of waves that require medium to pass:

• Mechanical Waves
• Electromagnetic Waves

What do waves carry from place to place?

• Energy, but not matter or particles
• Energy and matter or particles
• Matter or particles but not energy
• Neither energy nor matter or particles
