Can electormagnetic waves travel through a vacuum?
Did you ever see light from the Sun? Light is an electromagnetic wave, and it travels through a vacuum to reach us.
Is vacuum a medium of light?
Light can travel through vacuum, but it is not a medium.
Can you give an example of light traveling in a vacuum?
The sun rising every morning. Its' light traveled about 93,000,00 miles through a vacuum in order to be seen.If you accept that the space between the Earth and the Moon is lacking in atmosphere, that is, its a pretty good vacuum, then the simple fact that you can see the Moon (and Sun and Stars) is enough proof for me.
How does light behave when its in a vacuum?
It travels faster in a vacuum.
How do you differentiate light waves from sound waves?
You can see light waves (or particles . . .) but you cannot hear them. sound must travel thru matter , light can travel thru vacuum
Why can we see light from the sunbut not hear the explosions from the sun?
Between the earth and the sun there is no air (its a vacuum). Sound cannot travel across a vacuum. Light can.

How do you know that light can go through a vacuum?
I can see the sun, the moon, and the stars.
Can light waves travel on a vacuum?
I think they can, since that's how you see the sun and the stars.

Light can travel through vacuum, but it is not a medium.

Why doesn't light travel through a vacuum?
Light does travel through a vacuum.
The speed of light indicates how fast light can travel in a vacuum?
Yes ... in a vacuum.
Does light travel at its slowest speed when passing through a vacuum?
No, light is at its fastest in a vacuum.
What happens when light passes through vacuum?
it travels at c (speed of light in a vacuum)
If a satellite or spaceship explodes in outer space you can see the explosion from a distance but why can you not hear it?
Light travels in vacuum but sound cannot. So, we can see solar flares but can't hear them. (Outer space can be considered to be vacuum)
Why is the speed of light limited in a vacuum?
The speed of light is not limited in a vacuum - the speed of light is fastest in a vacuum. But that is what Einstein called the "Cosmic Speed Limit" - nothing can move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, or even quite asfast.
