Why do sound waves travel worse through air?
sound waves does not travel through long distance because in sound waves particles vibration is parallel to the direction of wave propagation due to this one particle is collide with other particle so because of this back and forth vibration sound waves travel worse through air
Do sound waves have to travel through a medium?
Yes, that is why they cannot travel through a vacuum. Searching "sound wave particle rarefraction" in google may give you more information on why this is.
Can light travel thought a vacuum why or why not?
Light can travel through a "vacuum" because the vacuum has a medium to transport light. Light can travel through a vacuum due to its dual nature; it can exhibit behaviours of either particles or waves, depending on the conditions under which it is observed, a situation called "particle/wave duality". A wave would need a medium to propagate (move) through, but a particle is like a tiny bullet, and can move independently (though still affected by) of the medium. In the case of a vacuum (by definition a space containing no matter), light behaves like a particle (called a photon), and moves through it in a straight line, unaffected. If, in that vacuum, it encounters something else, say a diffraction grating, its wave nature appears and it diffracts (spreads out), exactly as a wave would, but a particle would not.
How does electromagnetic radiation behave?
Electromagnetic radiation can behave either as a wave or a particle. A wave particle is duality. Electromagnetic energy results from acceleration of a charge EM radiation can travel through a medium or vacuum.
Does electromagnetic energy need something to travel through?
Only space is required.
How do particles within the medium not travel?
waves move through a particle.
How does a wave travel through a medium?
When a particle vibrates (moves back and forth), it can pass its energy to the particle next to it.
What is boson particle?
The boson particle is usually associated with the Higgs field. It is an energy field that transmits the mass to the things that travel through it.

If two waves with equal amplitudes and wavelenghts travel through a medium in such a way that a particular particle of the medium is at the crest?
The particle will remain stationary due to interference
What is an empty space that contains no matter that light can travel through?
A vacuum.
Why can light travel trough space?
Because light is a particle that is fired of from a star, that particle travels many ages to go through space to reach your eyes when you see it
Can light travel trough space?
Because light is a particle that is fired of from a star, that particle travels many ages to go through space to reach your eyes when you see it
How does light travel from space to earth?
Light is a particle called a foton that is fired of by a star and then continue's to travel in the direction it was fired in for many ages until it reaches something it collides with. it can be that this particle reaches earth or your eye in witch case you see it

What is an example of something through which sound can travel?
Air.
