How waves carry energy?

Wave carried energy in it's amplitude, the height in transverse wave and the maximum displacement length in Longitudinal wave.

Wave that do not require matter to carry energy?

Wave that does not require matter to carry energy is called as electromagnetic wave. In this wave, electrical and magnetic energy is transformed from one point to the other in free space. This establishes that the free space is having qualities such as electric permittivity and magnetic permeability.

What is the motion of the air molecules that carry sound?

They rapidly compress and rarefy in the direction of the sound wave as the wave travels.

Do waves with greater amplitudes carry more or less energy than waves with smaller amplitudes?

Wave with higher amplitude carry more energy than wave with lower amplitude. For simple consideration, no amplitude is no wave and thus no energy but just a flat surface of water. Wave with amplitude must have higher energy than the no wave.

Waves travel through a medium do they carry the medium with them?

False the wave goes through the medium only. And does not carry it.

How does the transverse wave carry the medium?

Transverse waves, or any type, don't carry the medium with them. If you have ever seen a duck floating on top of the water when a wave comes, you will know what I mean. The wave brings the duck up, but the duck remains in the same spot.

What is a wave through?

A wave can travel through any material, whether it be a gas, a liquid, or a solid. The only limiting factors are distance and lack of a material to carry the wave.
