What types of energy transfer requires a medium?
Its either sound, visible light,xrays.ultraviolet light
What is the proof that light travels in straight light?
Light actually travels in waves.This is known to be true because there are only 3 ways that energy can be transferred. As you probably already know, light does not need a medium to travel through because it travels through space. Electromagnetic waves are the only form of energy transfer that do not require a medium to travel through.
Does an electromagnetic wave use matter to transfer energy?
No, an electromagnetic wave does not require matter (a medium) to transfer energy. Electromagnetic energy (like light or radio waves) travels perfectly well in the vacuum of space. In contrast, a mechanical wave, of which sound is an example, does require a medium through which to travel.
What causes electromagnetic waves?
the transfer of light through a vacume or no medium
What determines the direction of energy transfer in a phase change?
light is form of energy then light is reflected at boundary of rarer medium and denser medium reflected ray is phase change of 180 degree's energy is phase changed direction of energy is opposite of transfer ed way

What is a energy and energy transfer?
Energy is that which changes the state or location of a body or substance. Energy transfer is the movement of energy through a medium. E.g. conduction of heat, electricity, sound, light.

Do light and sound require medium for transfer?
Light does not because of its' quantum nature. Sound does because it depends on varying the density of its' medium to move its' energy.
What does light and sound transfer?
They both transfer energy from point A to point B without the movement of any medium between them.
The matter through which a wave transfers energy is called what?
Propagation medium? Though a wave doesn't need a medium to travel or transfer energy (sound waves do, but lightwaves don't). People used to think there was an ether in which light moved, but there isn't.
What is the transfer of energy as waves moving through space?
Energy transfer by waves or particles of light is called radiation.
A type of energy that travels as a wave but does not require a medium through which to travel?
Light energy.
Why is a transfer useful in an amplifier?
Transfer means to allow through (science-transmit e.g a window and light energy. the light energy is transmitted through) and so if the energy wasnt allowed through there wouldnt be a current or circuit because the energy would be lost i the amplifier
