Can sound travel through honey?
Yes, sound can travel through most mediums effectively, as long as the amplitude and frequency of the sound wave is great enough.
Does a radio wave travel through a medium?
No mediums are liars they say they can read your mind but they are actually reading your facial expression
A wave that travels through a medium?
We know that a mechanical wave requires a medium through which to travel. The source puts the energy into the medium, and it propagates. A sound wave is a good example of this, and we can contrast it with an electromagnetic wave (like light). Light can travel through a vacuum; it doesn't require a medium for its propagation.
What is a disturbance that travels through mediums?
Wave motion
What are mediums for light waves?
Light is considered a self-propagating wave. So it does not need a medium, which is why it reaches the earth from the sun. The mediums which dont absorb the light (and therefore allow light to travel through it) depend on the wave length of light. For example a gamma ray (has a very short wavelength) can travel through metal and takes a block of lead to absorb it.
What mediums can a heat wave travel through?
It can travcel through... soild liquid gas and vaccumm

What causes a wave to bend and travel in new direction when it moves from one medium to another?
The speed of the wave in the different mediums.
An s wave is unable to travel through what?
media not suitable for the transmission of shear waves, such as fluids.
How are light and sound waves different in terms of speed type of wave and mediums?
Light waves travel at approx 300,000 kilometres per second, sound at approx 0.343 kilometres/second.Light waves can travel in vacuum or through some media (there is no such word as mediums!). Sound waves cannot travel through vacuum: they needs a physical medium.
What are the three mediums waves can travel through?
Heat in the form of infrared radiation can travel through many mediums, and some better than others. It can also travel through the vacuum of space. The more transparent the medium is to infrared radiation, the better it will travel through it.
What type of wave cannot travel completely through water?
The S Wave (Secondary Wave) cannot travel through water. On the P Wave (Primary Wave) and the Surface Wave can travel through water.
Why does sound travel fastest through a sold then a liquid and a gas?
That's because sound is a compression wave. It needs a medium to travel through. The best mediums are dense, like metal and concrete. Liquids are okay. Gasses are the worst. Sound will not travel in space because there's no medium for sound to travel through.
