No, the type of energy transferred by a wave in a medium is potential energy. Waves transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to oscillate or move. This transfer of energy is due to the potential energy stored in the medium's configuration.

True
A wave in a medium transfers both kinetic energy and potential energy as it propagates. The kinetic energy corresponds to the motion of the individual particles in the medium, while the potential energy is associated with the forces between neighboring particles.
The type of energy that is transferred when a force is applied over a distance is mechanical energy. This includes both potential energy (stored energy due to an object's position) and kinetic energy (energy of motion).
