What media does a transverse wave travel through?
It depends on the type of transverse wave. A transverse water wave travels through water. A transverse wave on a rope travels along the rope. A transverse electromagnetic wave, however, needs no medium. It can propagate through a vacuum.
A wave that can travel only through matter?
A wave that can travel only through matter is termed mechanical wave.
Light waves are a type of transverse wave that can travel through space or a vacuum. This means that unlike other types of waves light waves?
what is it
Which wave cannot travel through air or water?
THROUGH air or water transverse waves cannot travel. But on the surface of water transverse waves can be produced
A transverse or compressional wave that can travel only through matter?
That would be sound.
Why transverse wave cannot travel through air or gas?
A transverse wave of light can travel through air or gas.

Which seismic wave does not travel through liquid?
transverse
A wave that can travel only through matter?
A wave that can travel only through matter is termed mechanical wave.
The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
What are the two sound waves that travel through the air?
Transverse wave and a longitudinal wave
Light waves are a type of transverse wave that can travel through space or a vacuum. This means that unlike other types of waves light waves?

Which wave cannot travel through air or water?
THROUGH air or water transverse waves cannot travel. But on the surface of water transverse waves can be produced
What transverse wave means?
The particles in a transverse wave are displaced perpendicularly to the direction of the wave motion. For example, water waves are transverse waves. Think of how in the sea, the wave is moving towards the shore, but the water goes up and down. The water molecules are being displaced vertically, but the wave itself is moving horizontally. This is the characteristic motion of a transverse wave. Transverse waves are also able to move through a vacuum. Light, for example, is a transverse wave, and it can move through space, which is a vacuum. (A longitudinal wave, on the other hand, has particles which move in the same direction as the wave, and cannot travel through a vacuum. For example, sound waves.)
Why transverse wave cannot travel through air or gas medium?
A transverse wave of light can travel through air or gas.
A transverse or compressional wave that can travel only through matter?
That would be sound.
Is radiation a transverse wave?
Yes, electromagnetic radiation does travel as a transverse wave
