What else can I help you with?
Sound is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum because?
because sound waves are not a electromagnetic waves because they need a medium for travel....hence electromagnetic spectrum is based on the electromagnetic waves ..like radio waves , micro waves , etc....
Do electromagnetic waves travel through empty space?
Yes, electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. This is because they do not require a medium to propagate, unlike sound waves which need a medium (such as air) to travel through. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, allowing them to move through space.
Does electrcity travel in space?
Electricity, as used by us in such things as our computers and TVs etc, requires a conductor. It is the movement of electrons along that conductor which most people call electricity. This cannot travel through space. However electricity is also a part of and related to the electromagnetic spectrum which can travel through space.
What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
What can travel through space without a(n) medium?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space without a medium.
Do electromagnetic waves carry energy or travel through empty space?
Those two descriptions are not mutually exclusive, and in fact, electromagnetic waves do both.
Are cosmic rays part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Cosmic rays are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are high-energy particles, such as protons and atomic nuclei, that travel through space at nearly the speed of light. Unlike electromagnetic waves, which are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, cosmic rays are actual particles with mass.
Do the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum travel at the same speed through space?
Yes. It's usually called the "speed of light", but it's actually the speed of all electromagnetic phenomena.
Which of the following is true of electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.
Does electromagnetic energy need something to travel through?
No, electromagnetic energy can travel through a vacuum. It propagates through space as electric and magnetic fields that oscillate in a perpendicular fashion.
Can electromagnetic radiation travel through empty space?
Yes it can, and it does.
How do UV rays travel through space?
UV rays are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes light, radio, x-ray, infrared, and other "waves". All of these travel through space as photons. Photons behave both as particles and as waves. Their particle nature lets them travel through space, where there is nothing to conduct them, as a wave would normally need.
