What can radio waves do that visible light cannot?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
Can wave travel a vacuum in sopce?
Yes, but only electromagnetic waves, such as visible light or radio waves. Mechanical waves like sound require a medium to travel.
Do radio waves travel through vacuum fasetr than visible light waves?
All electromagnetic radiation has the same speed in the same medium.
Is visible light faster than radio waves in a vacuum?
No. Their speeds are identical.
Does visible light requrie a medium?
since light wave is electromagnetic wave and is able to travel through vacuum. eg.x-ray gamma ray radio waves etc hence due to the electromagnetic properties of visible light it does not required medium
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.
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.
What can travel in a vacuum?
Light or radioactive particles. They uses electro magnetic radiation as a medium for them to travel through, Waves like sound can not travel through vacuum because they need physical mediums like air.
What term is used to describe the collection that includes gamma rays x-rays ultraviolet light visible light infrared radiation and radio waves?
All travel at the same speed through a vacuum
How fast would radio waves with a wave length of 250 m travel through a vacuum?
All forms of electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum at the same speed.It doesn't matter whether it's a wave of heat, radio, microwave, visible light,ultraviolet, X-ray, or gamma ray. It travels through vacuum at299,792,458 meters (186,282 miles) per second.
Can visible light travel faster in a vacuum than both xrays and radio waves?
No. We call it the "speed of light", but it's also the speed of radio, X-rays, heat, ultraviolet, microwave, gamma rays, etc, and all forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the same speed, as long as they're in the same medium (vacuum or material substance).
Radio waves travelthough space at what speed?
In a vacuum radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 186,000 miles per second.
