They dont need it, but they can use it
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
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.
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.
What process occurs when all of the energy from light waves is transferred to a medium?
When all of the energy from light waves is transferred to a medium, it is absorbed by the medium. This absorption can result in the medium heating up, causing a temperature increase. The energy of the light waves is converted into thermal energy within the medium.
What waves require a medium and what waves do not?
Mechanical waves require a medium (substance) to travel in, other waves do not. For example, sound is a mechanical wave and require a medium (air, water, etc.), light is not a mechanical wave and does not require a 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 to travel?
No, only surface and mechanical waves need a medium, compressional waves can travel through space. (Such as light from the Sun).I think light (EM) waves are the only ones that can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves require a medium.
What type of medium is required by radio waves?
radio waves do not require a medium to travel,it can even travel through vaccum
