1. Electromagnetic wave → (d) Is made of electric and magnetic fields.

2. Transverse wave → (a) Transfers energy perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.

3. Longitudinal wave → (b) Transfers energy parallel to the direction of wave motion.

4. Mechanical wave → (e) Carries energy through matter.

5. Wave → (c) Carries energy from one place to another.

Explanation:

Wave : It is defined as the energy transfer from one place to another place.

Longitudinal waves : It is defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium move in the direction of the wave.

Transverse wave : It is defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium travel perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.

Electromagnetic waves : These are waves which can travel through vacuum. These have electrical and magnetic component associated with them. They travel with the speed of light. They does not require a medium to travel.

Mechanical waves : These are the waves that require a medium to travel so that they can transport their energy from one location to another.
