What do electomagnetic waves do?

electromagnetic waves are energy transfered through out medium which is energy


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 the differentiate of mechanical wave to electomagnetic wave?

Mechanical waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves transfer energy through the vibration of particles in the medium, while electromagnetic waves consist of changing electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space.


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 .


What waves need a medium to travel in?

Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium to travel through. These waves propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer the energy of the wave. Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.

Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?

No, radio waves do not need a medium to travel through. They are a type of electromagnetic wave that can travel through a vacuum, such as space. They can also travel through other mediums, such as air or water.


Through what medium do sound waves travel?

Sound waves travel through a medium such as air, water, or solid materials.


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 waves do travel in a medium?

Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and seismic waves, travel through a medium by transferring energy from one point to another through oscillations of particles in the medium. These waves require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum.


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.


Does transverse wave require a medium to travel through?

Yes, transverse waves require a medium to travel through. Examples include water waves, which need water as a medium, and electromagnetic waves such as light, which can travel through a vacuum.
