What else can I help you with?
Can light wave travel through air?
Yes, light waves can travel through air because air is a medium through which electromagnetic waves can propagate. Light travels at different speeds through different mediums, but it can definitely travel through air.
Is light an example of mechanical wave?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
Why transverse wave cannot travel through air or gas?
A transverse wave of light can travel through air or gas.
Why are things transparent?
Because the light waves travel through its molecules. Alternative answer: Light waves have a dual nature; one electromagnetic and another a photonic wave. These waves travel through air, hitting all kinds of objects. Some of these objects are transparent (glass), which allow the light waves to pass only in the form of photonic wave. After the light wave pass through the object (glass), it obtains back its dual nature.
What is the the speed at which a wave travel through a medium?
the true answer is light speed
What wave require a medium to travel through?
electromagnetic. for example, light.
What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
What is the motion of a light wave?
A light wave travels in a straight line until it encounters a medium that causes it to refract or reflect. The motion of a light wave is characterized by its wavelength, frequency, and speed, which determine how it interacts with different materials.
What are mediums for light waves?
Light is considered a self-propagating wave. So it does not need a medium, which is why it reaches the earth from the sun. The mediums which dont absorb the light (and therefore allow light to travel through it) depend on the wave length of light. For example a gamma ray (has a very short wavelength) can travel through metal and takes a block of lead to absorb it.
What medium in the wave traveling through?
The medium through which a wave travels depends on the type of wave. For example, sound waves travel through air, water waves travel through water, and seismic waves travel through the Earth's interior. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through a vacuum, like space.
An example of a wave that can travel through empty space?
radio heat light infrared green ultraviolet x-ray gamma ray gravity waves
How does light travel as a wave?
Light travels as a wave through electromagnetic fields, with oscillating electric and magnetic components that propagate through space. This wave-like behavior allows light to exhibit properties such as interference and diffraction.
