Is medium required to transmit light waves?
No. light waves required no medium for transmission.
Why does there have to be a medium for waves to travel through?
There does not have to be a medium. Light does not require a medium. Mechanical waves require a mediumAnswer 2:Not all waves require a medium for their transmission. Mechanical waves require a medium for their transmission because it is the molecules of the medium which cause the wave to propagate. However, electromagnetic waves do NOT require a medium. (for example light)
How does light waves compare with sound waves?
Light waves are electromagnetic waves that move at the speed of light. Sound waves are compression waves that move through a medium (air, liquids, solids), with varying speeds according to the medium.
Is the color of light determied by the speed of the light waves?
the color of light is determined by the ____ of the light waves A. medium B.speed C.frequency D. amplitude
What waves can transfer energy with out a medium?
electromagnetic radiation, for example light
Does light travels in waves and is required in a medium?
Yes, it travels in waves, but it doesn't need a medium.
What is the medium of light?
No medium is required by electromagnetic waves to traverse.
What is the diffraction of light waves?
Diffraction of light waves is caused by the density of the medium through which the light is passing. Diffraction results when light travels from rarer to denser medium.
How does light travel through AVACUUM?
Light waves do not need a medium to propagate. Sound waves cannot travel without a medium. Light waves always travel at the speed of light that is 3*108m/s.
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.
Waves that do not not need a medium?
Two waves that do not require a medium to travel would be light waves and gravitational waves. - Zach Harris, B.S. Physics
What does the word medium refer to in terms of lights and waves?
actually light is nothing but combination of so many Waves. so we can say that light and waves are not different things that means if a light can move through a medium we an say that the waves an also move through that so medium refers the same meaning both in terms of light and waves
