What else can I help you with?
Do electromagnetic waves need molecules to travel?
No, electromagnetic waves do not need matter to travel. However, they can interact with matter and change accordingly.
What does an electromagnetic wave do?
can travel through matter
What is a 'vacuum' in electromagnetic waves terms?
In electromagnetic waves terms, a vacuum refers to a region of space that contains no matter and has no medium for the waves to propagate through. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a medium for transmission.
What waves are unique because of there ability to travel through a vacuum. a space that contains no particles of matter?
Electromagnetic waves are unique because they can travel through a vacuum, which does not contain matter particles. This is because electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that can propagate through empty space.
What state of matter travels through waves?
It depends. Is it a mechanical wave or a electromagnetic wave? Mechanical waves (for example sound waves) travel trough every state of matter and they can't exist without matter. They don't travel through vacuum. Electromagnetic waves travel trough space and get interrupted only by other electromagnetic waves.
A region empty of matter throught which sound cannot travel?
A vacuum is a region empty of matter through which sound cannot travel due to the absence of air molecules to transmit the sound waves.
How mechanical and electromagnetic waves are similar.?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space.Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy.
Is it possible for a electromagnetic wave to travel through a vacuum through matter?
Yes, electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum as they do not require a medium to propagate. However, when electromagnetic waves encounter matter, they may be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted depending on the properties of the material.
What goes slowest to fastest for an electromgnetic to travel in matter?
In matter, electromagnetic waves travel slowest in solids, faster in liquids, and fastest in gases. This speed variation is due to the differences in density and the interactions between the particles in each state of matter.
Electromagnetic waves are mad by vibrating elecrical charges that travel through space or matter?
Electromagnetic waves are a form of energy that result from the vibration of electrically charged particles. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that can travel through vacuum or matter at the speed of light.
A wave that travels trough empty space or matter?
Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through empty space as they do not require a medium to propagate. They consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that carry energy from one place to another. Sound waves, on the other hand, require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through.
Can electromagnetic waves travel through matter through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves such as light can pass through material medium such as water, glass etc and at the same time it could pass through vacuum ie a medium of free space.
