Would you please inform me about the topic "Why do waves carry energy momentum"...

Energy is related to the momentum by

$E^2=p^2c^2 + M^2c^4$

For virtual particles, the identity above no longer holds, however shortens to $E^2=p^2c^2$ . This quantity reserved states that momentum is an inherent property of the energy of a system (multiplied by the speed of light).
