Why can radio waves travel through space but sound waves can not?
Radio waves travel through empty space because they are electromagnetic waves, whereas sound is a wave that must travel through air.
Which waves travel through vacuum?
raDIO WaVES
Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?
Radiation doesnt need a medium because it travels through space
What is a disturbance that moves through some type of matter or space?
a wave. Electromagnetic waves (such as light or radio waves) do not need a medium to travel through. Mechanical waves (such as sound waves) require a medium (matter) to travel through.
Do surface waves require a medium?
Yes. By definition, surface waves will travel at or near the surface of a medium. Only electromagnetic waves (light, radio, & etc) can travel through a vacuum.
Why can radio waves travel through space but sound waves can not?
Radio waves travel through empty space because they are electromagnetic waves, whereas sound is a wave that must travel through air.

Why radio waves can travel through space but sound waves cannot?
radio astronomy
Why can radio waves can travel through space but sound waves cannot?
radio astronomy
What type of medium is required by radio waves?
radio waves do not require a medium to travel,it can even travel through vaccum
Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?
Radiation doesnt need a medium because it travels through space
What do radio waves travel easily through?
Air
Can gps signals travel underwater?
No. The GPS signal is high-frequency radio waves. High frequency radio waves cannot travel through water.
Do radio waves need medium to travel?
light waves do not need a medium. Electromagnetic Waves (EM) do not need a medium. For example visible light, radio waves, microwaves, UV light and x-rays do not. These travel @ 300 million meters/sec in a vacuum.
Why are satellite used to relay radio waves?
Satellites are used to relay radio waves to the other side of the world because radio waves cannot travel directly through the Earth.
What is a disturbance that moves through some type of matter or space?
a wave. Electromagnetic waves (such as light or radio waves) do not need a medium to travel through. Mechanical waves (such as sound waves) require a medium (matter) to travel through.
How does heat travel in liquids?
Heat travels through liquids with heat radio waves. And the radio waves will eventually warm up the liquid.
