The energy coming from lasers is used for various purposes such as lasic surgery and laser cutting.
Radio waves also carry electromagnetic energy. This energy is used to send information one place to another such as FM programs, mobile phone calls, RADAR, etc. It is also used in navigation satellite.
Water waves carry mechanical energy. At the sea shores, we see lots of trash which is brought by the water waves (energy is Used). There are some efforts being made to convert this water wave energy to the electricity as well.
Sound waves too carry mechanical energy in the form of pressure variations. This energy is recognized in form of pressure variation with the help of membrane such as eardrum. That is how we hear sound and also record sOund using microphones.
Result:
Light waves, radio waves, water waves and sound waves all carry the energy.
