What do electomagnetic waves do?
electromagnetic waves are energy transfered through out medium which is energy
What are the properties of electromagnetic waves?
speedwavelengthfrequencypolarization
How do you know that electomagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves travel as streams of particles, thus being able to move through a vacuum. For example, light reaches the earth from the sun and other far away stars. You can compare this with sound waves which requires a medium such as air or water to travel through.
What is a electomagnetic wave?
these are waves that do not require or need material medium for its propagation, but they travel successfully in free space{vacuum}
What type of wave requires no medium to travel through?
Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .
Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?
Radiation doesnt need a medium because it travels through space
What do electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves have in common?
They can both travel through a medium.
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 happens when waves travel through a medium?
The molecule of the medium vibrates at the dirction in which the wave travels
What are electomagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic eaves are waves that can travel through the vacuum of outer space. Microwaves, x-rays, and TV are all kinds of electromagnetic waves.
What are three medium waves can travel through?
Not all waves require mediums to propagate.Sound waves can travel through solid, liquid and gaseous mediums, while, electromagnetic waves do not require any medium to travel through.
Which can travel through empty space out of insulator convection electomagnetic conduction or radiation?
Radiation can travel through empty space. The radiation in question is electromagnetic waves.
