What else can I help you with?
Why does a mechanical wave need a medium?
medium is the matter a wave trvels through
A wave that can travel only through matter?
A wave that can travel only through matter is termed mechanical wave.
What do Sound wave not travel?
Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.
Why does a wave travel a medium?
Waves do not need a medium all time.it depends like u need no medium when it is electromagnetic wave.
What is the longitudinal wave that can travel only through matter?
A sound wave is a longitudinal wave that can travel only through matter, such as air, water, or solids. This type of wave involves the vibration of particles in the medium parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. Sound waves require a medium to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum.
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.
The medium of a wave is?
The medium of a wave is the matter a wave travels through.So yeah, if you wiggle a rope, the medium isn't the air around the rope... the medium is the rope itself!
The matter through which a wave transfers energy is called what?
Propagation medium? Though a wave doesn't need a medium to travel or transfer energy (sound waves do, but lightwaves don't). People used to think there was an ether in which light moved, but there isn't.
What type of wave can transfer energy without medium?
the wave which does not travel through a medium is called electromagnetic wave.
What is a wave that only can travel through matter?
A wave of kinetic energy requires a medium to travel though.
What medium does a sound wave travel through?
A sound wave travels through a medium such as air, water, or solid materials like metal. The particles of the medium vibrate in response to the sound wave, transmitting the energy of the wave through the medium.
A sound wave moves from a medium where particles of matter are closely packed to a medium where particles of matter are further apart How do you expect the sound wave to travel differently?
The sound wave will travel faster in the medium where particles of matter are further apart because there will be less resistance and the particles are more spread out, allowing the wave to propagate more easily.
