Can a transverse wave travel through space?

Yes, transverse waves can travel through space. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, are an example of transverse waves that can propagate through the vacuum of space without the need for a medium.


Does a transverse wave need a physical medium to travel?

No, a transverse wave does not need a physical medium to travel. Transverse waves are characterized by perpendicular oscillations of the medium, and they can propagate through a vacuum or empty space as seen in electromagnetic waves.


Can travel though empty space?

Yes, you can travel through empty space. The Sun, Earth, moon, satellites, space ships, atoms, and subatomic particles all travel through empty space. Greater than 99.999% of matter is empty space.


Which do not travel through empty space?

Sound waves do not travel through empty space because they require a medium, such as air, water, or a solid, to propagate. Similarly, mechanical waves like seismic waves also need a medium to travel and cannot propagate through empty space.


Why cant you get energy from the sun through convection?

Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.


Does heat travel through empty space by conduction?

No, heat does not travel through empty space by conduction because conduction requires particles to transfer heat energy from one molecule to another. In empty space, heat transfer occurs through radiation, where energy is transferred via electromagnetic waves.


What travels through empty space?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can travel through empty space. These waves do not require a medium to propagate, allowing them to travel through the vacuum of space.


Why an electromagnetic wave can travel through empty space?

Because space is not empty, it has a Quantum Ether.


Why cant sound trave through empty space?

Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, such as in empty space, there are no particles for sound waves to propagate through, so sound cannot travel.


Which can travel through empty space out of insulator convection electomagnetic conduction or radiation?

Radiation can travel through empty space. The radiation in question is electromagnetic waves.


Can travel only through some type of matter .can travel either through matter or through empty space?

One example would be X-Rays. They are stopped by Lead, but travel through other matter and empty space.


Why can't sound travel through an empty space?

Sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid substance, to travel through. In an empty space, there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate.
