What else can I help you with?
How are electromagnetic (or light) waves different from water and sound waves?
Light waves and electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. Water waves can only travel through matter. Hope this helped!
How are electromagnetic or light waves different from water and sound waves?
Electromagnetic or light waves are transverse waves that do not require a medium (such as air or water) to propagate, whereas water and sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium for propagation. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, whereas water and sound waves cannot. Additionally, electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light, while the speed of water and sound waves depends on the medium through which they are traveling.
What do the light waves travel more when they enter in water?
eletromagnetic waves
What do light waves travel more through when they enter water?
they travel faster. Light waves travel more QUICKLY as they enter water. ^^ whoever done this;; thanks! i really needed the answer....
Through what can light waves travel?
Light waves can travel through a vacuum, air, water, and transparent materials like glass and plastic.
How do light waves affect matter?
light waves travel through a matter, such as air water and others
Light waves travel more as they enter water?
yes they travel faster :)
How do you differentiate light waves from sound waves?
Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium to propagate, whereas sound waves are mechanical vibrations that need a medium, such as air or water, to travel. Light waves travel at the speed of light in a straight line, while sound waves travel through a medium by causing particles to vibrate in a wave pattern.
Light waves differ fundamentally from either water waves or sound waves because?
light waves do not require a medium to travel through, unlike water and sound waves which both need a medium (water and air, respectively). Light waves are electromagnetic in nature and can travel through a vacuum. They have different wave properties such as wavelength, frequency, and speed compared to water and sound waves.
What are the differences between sound waves and light waves in terms of their properties and behaviors?
Sound waves and light waves are both forms of energy that travel in waves, but they have different properties and behaviors. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through, while light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves travel slower than light waves and can be reflected, refracted, and diffracted, while light waves can also be polarized and undergo interference. Sound waves are longitudinal waves, meaning they travel by compressing and expanding the medium, while light waves are transverse waves, with oscillations perpendicular to the direction of travel.
How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?
Sound waves require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids, and they propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. Light waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium. They propagate as electromagnetic waves and can travel through empty space.
What is the fastest way to send information using sound waves light waves or water waves?
Light waves are the fastest way to send information, as they travel at the speed of light in a vacuum (c = 299,792,458 meters per second). Sound waves and water waves travel much slower, with sound waves traveling at about 343 meters per second in air and water waves traveling at varying speeds depending on the medium.
