What else can I help you with?
Does light require a medium to travel?
No. Light can travel in a vacuum.That's why we can receive light from sun even though there exists a vacuum in between Earth and sun.
Does the wave nature of light states that light needs a medium through which to travel in different waves?
Light been found as electromagnetic wave does not need any material medium to get propagated. Even in free space (vacuum) it is able to travel.
Does sound and light need the same medium to travel?
as we know that according to Einstein explanation light travelled very faster then the sound this means that light even can travelled without a medium.bue sounds need travelling vaccum to travelled in
What is a wave that can travel through anything?
Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a medium to propagate. They can travel through air, water, and even solid materials.
Can electromagnetic spectrum waves travel through space?
Yes! that's how light from the sun gets to the Earth. Electromagnetic do not require a medium to travel through, they can even travel through a complete vacuum.
What type of medium is required by radio waves?
radio waves do not require a medium to travel,it can even travel through vaccum
What the material through which light travels?
Light can travel through various materials such as air, water, glass, and even some types of plastics. The speed of light can vary depending on the medium it is traveling through, with the speed being fastest in a vacuum.
Do mechanical waves require a medium?
Yes, they require a material medium like aire, water, or even ropes.
Does light consist of convection energy?
No, these are completely different. Light is an electromagnetic wave that can travel even in a vacuum (like space), whilst convection means transport of heat by currents of air or other medium, the currents being produced by the differences in density of the medium.
Did waves carries energy?
most kinds of waves need something to travel through. Water waves, for example, travel along the surface of the water. A wave can even travel along a rope. Gases (such as air), liquids (such as water), and solids (such as rope) , all act as mediums. Waves that require a medium through which travel are called mechanical waves.Some waves do not require a medium to travel through. Light can travel and carry energy through empty space. Waves that can travel without a medium are called electromagnetic waves. :)
What distinguishes electromagnetic waves from mechanical waves?
electromagnetic waves are wave that do not require a material medium for their propagation while mechanical wave requires a material medium for example light wave is an electromagnetic wave it does not require any material medium(depends on air or water)for their propagation i.e even in the absence of air light will still travel... sound wave is a mechanical wave because sound do not travel in a vacuum....
Why you cannot hear what is happening on the sound but you can see it?
Sound is a form of mechanical energy that requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. If there is no medium for the sound waves to propagate through, like in the vacuum of space, then the sound cannot be heard. In contrast, light is an electromagnetic wave that does not require a medium to travel through, allowing it to be seen even in a vacuum.
