Yes.
By definition, surface waves will travel at or near the surface of a medium.
Only electromagnetic waves (light, radio, & etc) can travel through a vacuum.

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)
Waves that require a medium are called mechanical waves
Electromagnetic waves do not require medium for propagation.
No. Waves that require a medium to travel in are called mechanical waves. Electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves and do not require a medium.
E.M. waves require no medium. Sound waves require a medium.
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
All waves require a medium.
electromagnetic waves do not require medium for their propagation. such as radio waves.
All types require a medium. Light waves require the free space medium, z= h/Q2 .
Mechanical waves require a medium for their propagation whereas electromagnetic waves require a medium for their propagation.
Body waves: seismic waves that travel through the body of a medium Surface waves: seismic waves that travel along the surface of a medium and have a strong effect near the surface of the medium than it has in the interior
No...electromagnetic waves require no medium
Mechanical waves require a medium.
Three types of mechanical waves are transverse, longitudinal, & surface waves. Mechanical waves require a material medium to travel.
Mechanical waves require a medium
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel. Mechanical waces like sound or ocean waves require a medium to propogate (travel).
No, electromagnetic waves do not require a medium.
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.
Sound waves are mechanical waves and all mechanical waves require a material medium for its propagation unlike electromagnectic waves
Waves that require a medium through which to travel are called mechanical waves. They require a medium (gas, solid, and liquid).
Electromagnetic waves, gravity waves.
Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .
We know that electromagnetic waves and gravity waves will move perfectly well through the vacuum of space. In contrast, it is mechanical waves that require a medium to propagate.
sound waves require a medium to transfer energyFOR A+ USERS THE ANSWER IS Sound waves travel in all directionssound waves require a medium to transfer energy-- They are longitudinal waves and material medium is required for their propagation.
No, electromagnetic waves don't require a medium, because they have properties of both waves and particles, that's why they can travel through the vacuum of space.
