What are waves?. Waves carry energy. Rhythmic disturbances that carry energy without carrying matter are called waves.. Models of Waves. Waves. What is a wave?. A wave is a disturbance that travels from one location to another location. The traveling disturbance in a wave is carrying energy (NOT matter). Waves that require a medium to travel through are . The Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) was the first person to truly understand the fundamental nature of light. . He proved in 1865 that an electromagnetic disturbance should propagate in free space with a speed equal to that of light..
