Mechanical waves carry energy through particles that move up and down; electromagnetic waves carry energy through particles that move side to side.s in a wave?

Answer 1

Answer: Light, heat, radio, and similar types of energy are carried by a variety of waves in the ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM. Some energy waves need a medium, such as water or air, through which to travel. The medium moves back and forth as waves carry energy through it, but it does not actually travel along with the wave.

Answer 2

Mechanical waves carry energy through matter; electromagnetic waves carry energy through space

Mechanical waves are like the ones are at the beach, electromagnetic ones are like cellphone signals, microwave radiation, wireless internet etc
