Is medium required to transmit light waves?
No. light waves required no medium for transmission.
What is the medium of light?
No medium is required by electromagnetic waves to traverse.
Does light travels in waves and is required in a medium?
Yes, it travels in waves, but it doesn't need a medium.
Does light waves travel through median?
I assume you are thinking about a "medium". If a wave travels through some "substance", such a substances is called a medium. In the case of light waves, or electromagnetic waves in general, the medium is empty space - nothing is required to fill the space.
What type of medium is required by light waves?
Unlike waves in water, for example, light waves don't require a medium at all. They can (and do) travel through a complete vacuum, for example. If you'd like to read about this, the wikipedia article on light, and also on 'The Aether' will be of interest.
Do light waves have a medium?
no they do not have a medium.
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
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.
