Is ice denser than vacuum?

Density = (mass) divided by (volume)Since the mass of any region of vacuum is zero, the density of vacuum is zero.So the density of any material is greater than the density of vacuum.


What does a vacuum contain?

A vacuum does not contain anything; it is a space that is devoid of matter, including air. It is a low-pressure environment where there is very little or no molecules present.


Why the effective mass of an electron is different than it mass in vacuum?

The effective mass of an electron in a material is different from its mass in vacuum because in a material, the electron interacts with the surrounding atoms and lattice structure, causing its motion to be influenced by these interactions. This results in an effective mass that can be greater or lesser than the electron's mass in vacuum.

Vacuum does not have a specific heat because it does not contain any particles to absorb or transfer heat energy.


Is a vacuum still a vacuum if there are electromagnetic waves in the vacuum?

Yes, a vacuum is still a vacuum if electromagnetic waves are present. A vacuum is an area with no matter in it. We know that matter is anything which has mass and takes up space. Electromagnetic waves have no mass, and certianly take up no space. They're energy.


Does heat exist in a vacuum?

No. Heat is a measure of molecular energy in matter, a true vacuum would not contain matter. However, since there is no such thing as a complete vacuum, then Yes.
