Which statement most completely defines a wave? *

a wave transfers energy and matter from one point to another through a medium.
a wave transfers energy and matter from one point to another through empty space.
a wave transfers energy through a medium or empty space without transporting matter.
a wave transfers matter through a medium or empty space without transporting energy.

A wave transfers energy through a medium or empty space without transporting matter.

Explanation:

A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point known as the source to another. Waves may transfer energy through a material medium or a vacuum without transporting matter.Waves that transfer energy from one point to another through a material medium are known as mechanical waves.Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are those that do not require a material medium for transmission, the transfer of energy is through a vacuum.Waves can also be either transverse or longitudinal waves based on the vibration of particles relative to the direction of wave motion.
