Question

Which is a characteristic of all waves?

All waves carry energy.
All waves move through space.
All waves move through matter, from particle to particle. 
All waves transfer energy perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

All waves carry energy.

Explanation: Carrying energy is a property common to all waves. The other statements are false in general: some waves (mechanical) need a material medium, some (electromagnetic) travel through vacuum; only transverse waves transfer energy perpendicular to motion, while longitudinal waves transfer it parallel to the motion.
