What else can I help you with?
Do all waves travel through matter?
NO some waves like sound require matter to travel whereas light waves can travel in vacuum.
What state of matter do P and S waves travel through?
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
What kind of waves originate at the focus and can travel through all types of matter?
p waves
What type of seismic waves can travel through all states of matter?
Primary waves, or P-waves, are the type of seismic waves that can travel through all states of matter, including solids, liquids, and gases. They are compressional waves that move by alternately compressing and expanding the material through which they travel. This ability to move through different states of matter distinguishes P-waves from secondary waves (S-waves), which can only propagate through solids.
Is it true that all waves need a medium to travel through?
No, not all waves require a medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio waves, and X-rays, can travel through a vacuum because they consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. These waves do not need a material medium for transmission.
These waves originate at the focus and can travel through all tyes of matter?
Seismic p
Does waves need a medium to travel through?
No. Electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum ( ie space where there is nothing)
Are all waves mechanical waves?
maybe? ----- No, you are forgetting about electromagnetic radiation such as a light, radio, x-rays, and so on that also have wave properties. Mechanical waves are able to travel through matter but electromagnetic waves can travel in a vacuum.
All waves need a medium in order 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.
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.
What is a wave that can travel through matter and space?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space. All electromagnetic waves travel through certain types of matter. Some electromagnetic waves (neutrinos and others) pass through all known matter) This is really an extremely complex question, which preys on the nature of waves themselves. I would direct the questioner to read one of the following books: A Brief History of Time (Prof. Stephen Hawking) Coming of Age in the Milky Way (Timothy Ferris)
Do all waves need a medium to travel through true or false?
false
