    The statement that correctly distinguishes between mechanical and electromagnetic waves is: " Mechanical waves carry energy through matter; electromagnetic waves carry energy through space. " Mechanical waves need a medium to propagate, therefore they can only carry energy through matter. Electromagnetic is not limited by vacuum, therefore they can carry energy through space.
