Answer: The only answer that is NOT true is that waves carry matter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Waves are caused by a disturbance, require a medium to travel (by definition) and carry energy.

If you're talking about electromagnetic waves tho, those do not require a medium. Waves in general DO require a medium

Answer:

It’s caused by a disturbance.

It requires a medium to travel.

Step-by-step explanation:

A wave is an unsettling influence that sends energy starting with one point then onto the next. It does no essentially convey the particles or matter of the medium.

Waves typically conveys energy. It is this energy they use in making aggravations.

Not all waves conveys matter; a genuine model is electromagnetic waves. Additionally, electromagnetic waves don't need a mode for proliferation.
