since light wave is electromagnetic wave and is able to travel through vacuum. eg.x-ray gamma ray radio waves etc hence due to the electromagnetic properties of visible light it does not required medium

No.


What is medium wavelengths called?

Medium wavelengths are often referred to as visible light. This encompasses the range of wavelengths that are visible to the human eye, typically ranging from about 400 to 700 nanometers.


Can you see light in a vacuum?

No, light cannot be seen in a vacuum because light requires a medium to travel through in order to be visible. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the light to interact with, so it cannot be seen.


The scattering of visible light in all directions by colloids or suspensions is?

called Tyndall effect. It occurs when light passes through a medium containing small particles that scatter the light, making the beam visible. The scattered light is mainly due to the reflection and refraction of light by the particles in the medium.


What is tandal effect?

The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by colloidal particles in a transparent medium. This phenomenon causes the particles to become visible as they scatter light, creating a visible beam of light passing through the medium. The Tyndall effect can be observed in systems such as smoke, fog, or colloidal solutions.


X-rays travel in vacuum at a higher speed than the visible light?

Yes, X-rays travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is higher than the speed of visible light. This is because the speed of light in a medium is inversely proportional to the refractive index of the medium, and X-rays have a shorter wavelength than visible light, allowing them to travel at a higher speed.


Which of the following waves does not require a medium through which to travel?

Any eletromagnetic wave. Light, visible or non visible.


All waves need a medium in order to travel?

light waves do not need a medium. Electromagnetic Waves (EM) do not need a medium. For example visible light, radio waves, microwaves, UV light and x-rays do not. These travel @ 300 million meters/sec in a vacuum.

How do electromagnetic waves travel through a medium?

electromagnetic waves generally don't require a medium to travel. the most commonly visible example is "light" which may be either sun's light, light from a bulb or any other source. they travel as transverse waves.
