"Wave length" is a measurement that describes a characteristic of a wave.
If the wave is a mechanical one, like sound for example, it must have some kind
of material to travel through. Air is a good one.
If the wave is an electromagnetic one, like light or radio for example, it can travel
through air, but it doesn't need anything to travel through.

Can light wave travel through air?
Yes ,....... light wave can travel through the air ... the light wave does not require any medium.
What are three mediums that a wave can travel through?
air water stell
Which type of wave is sound?
Sound is a mechanical wave and must travel through a medium, such as air, water, and solids. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.
Which wave cannot travel through air or water?
THROUGH air or water transverse waves cannot travel. But on the surface of water transverse waves can be produced
What happens to the wavelength of a sound wave when it travels through water rather than air?
the wave length of sound increases
Can light wave travel through air?
Yes ,....... light wave can travel through the air ... the light wave does not require any medium.
Why transverse wave cannot travel through air or gas?
A transverse wave of light can travel through air or gas.
Can a sound wave travel through air?
Yes.
What are the two sound waves that travel through the air?
Transverse wave and a longitudinal wave
A mechanical wave can travel only through what?
A medium which is air
Where do the sound wave pass through?
It paseses through this thing called air. Sound wave can only travel in air and in current wires
Which state of matter does a sound wave travel faster through?
Air
What are three mediums that a wave can travel through?
air water stell
Which type of wave is sound?
Sound is a mechanical wave and must travel through a medium, such as air, water, and solids. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.
Which wave cannot travel through air or water?
THROUGH air or water transverse waves cannot travel. But on the surface of water transverse waves can be produced
What must sound wave travel on to reach your ears?
sound waves travel through the air particles
Why can't a sound wave travel from a satellite to earth?
A sound wave cannot travel through space because there is no air in space. Without a medium such as air, you can't hear sounds
