Can sound waves go through a vacuum?

No, sound waves require a medium like air, water, or solids to travel through. In a vacuum where there is no medium, sound waves cannot propagate.


Which waves can go through a vacuum?

Electromagnetic waves are the only form of energy that does not need a medium for propagation.


What waves can transfer energy but don't have to go through a medium?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can transfer energy through a vacuum without the need for a medium. This is because electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that do not require a material medium to propagate.


What type of wave is a mechanical wave?

A mechanical wave is a wave that requires a medium, such as water, air, or solid material, to travel through. These waves transfer energy through the medium by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. Examples include sound waves and ocean waves.


What medium does a wave travel in?

There are two types of waves, mechanical and electromagnetic. Mechanical waves need to have a medium to go through in order to even exits. these mediums can include water, dirt, air, metal, glass, plastic, wood, etc. electromagnetic waves travel through just about anything and do not have to have a medium to exist. Hope this helps T.M.M :-)


What is a substance through a wave can travel?

It depends on what wave you're talking about. Water: I have not a clue. Sound: Depending on what the frequency is, sound can go through most things. For example, if you sit inside a car, and your friend is outside, you two can still hear each other if you yell. But the glass distorts the waves which is why the sounds are all funny. Light: There are many different types of light waves. Some are radiation waves, others are rays. Microwaves can't go through too much stuff, but things such as X-rays can go through your skin (that's how X-rays work). And then there are gamma rays. These are highly dangerous and can go through to your bones, and really penetrate through most things due to the high frequency they have, and the energy they possess.


What are waves that do not require a medium but can go through matter called?

All forms of waves require a medium to propagate through, the only known wave like motion to not require a medium is light, however a medium call the Aether has been suggested to continue the idea that all forms of waves require a medium (tests to confirm the existence of the Aether all proved its non-existence). Light is special, however, as it seems to have properties of both particles and waves. I could of course be completely wrong however, so check with a physics teacher.


Difference between electromagnetic and mechanical waves?

Mechanical waves must use matter as a medium, they displace the matter in space. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves (must go through gas (air) which is matter), ocean waves (must go through liquid (water) which is matter, and earthquakes (must go through solid (earth) which is matter.Electromagnetic waves do not need matter as a medium and are made of electromagnetic radiation, they cause fluctuations in the magnetic and electric fields that permeate space-time. Examples of electromagnetic waves are radio waves, microwaves, x-rays, and gamma rays (all are part of the electromagnetic spectrum or EMS).


Which type of EQ waves can only go through solids?

S-waves (secondary waves) can only travel through solids because they move in a shearing, side-to-side motion that requires a rigid medium to propagate. P-waves (primary waves) can travel through both solids and fluids.


How does sound react with different phases of matter?

Sound waves have to go through a medium, or matter. Usually the medium is air, but they can go through any matter. Sound waves cannot exist in outer space because there is no matter for the wave to travel through. Sound waves travel at different speeds, depending on the medium. This is similar to light, because light slows down in mediums other than air (eg. water, crystal, ect.)


Do waves go through each other or bounce off one another?

Waves can exhibit both behaviors depending on the type of waves and the medium through which they are propagating. In some cases, waves can pass through each other without interacting (such as light waves), while in other cases, waves can bounce off each other or interact (such as sound waves).


What happens if two different waves go through same medium?

The waves will pass through each other unaffected, with their individual properties retained. They will superimpose to create a new wave pattern as they overlap, called interference. The resulting wave will depend on the amplitudes and phases of the original waves.
