Answer: Light energy only travels through empty space absent of mass energy and kinetic energy only travels through a medium full of mass energy. ... Waves don't transfer mass because mass is not the same as a wave. Mass can hold “extra” energy but it is that energy that moves through it as a wave, not the particle itself.
In a wave phenomenon, energy can move from one location to another, yet the particles of matter in the medium return to their fixed position. A wave transports its energy without transporting matter. Waves are seen to move through an ocean or lake; yet the water always returns to its rest position.
