Is vacuum a medium of light?
Light can travel through vacuum, but it is not a medium.
Name one kind of wave that does not require a medium?
An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.
Which requires a physical medium in which to travel light or sound?
Sound requires a physical medium, such as air, water, or solids, in order to travel because it propagates through vibrations of particles in the medium. On the other hand, light does not require a physical medium and can travel through empty space as electromagnetic waves.
Who can we say light does not need to travel in medium?
Light can travel in a vacuum without the need for a medium. This is because light is composed of photons which do not require a medium, unlike other types of waves such as sound waves that do need a medium to propagate.
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
What wave require a medium to travel through?
electromagnetic. for example, light.
Does transverse wave require a medium to travel through?
Yes, transverse waves require a medium to travel through. Examples include water waves, which need water as a medium, and electromagnetic waves such as light, which can travel through a vacuum.
When a wave travel through a medium?
Mechanical waves such as sound and vibration require a medium in which to travel. Electromagnetic waves such as radio and light need no transmission medium.
How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?
Sound waves require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids, and they propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. Light waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium. They propagate as electromagnetic waves and can travel through empty space.
What waves need a medium to travel in?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium to travel through. These waves propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer the energy of the wave. Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Does light absorb sound?
No, light does not absorb sound. Sound waves are mechanical vibrations that require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to travel through. Light, on the other hand, is a form of electromagnetic radiation that does not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
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.
