In what way are waves and energy related?

Waves and energy are related because waves carry energy from one place to another. When a wave travels through a medium, it transfers energy by causing particles in the medium to move. This movement of particles carries energy along with the wave.


How are waves related to sound?

Waves are related to sound because sound is a type of wave that travels through a medium, such as air or water. Sound waves are created by vibrations and travel in a similar way to other types of waves, like light waves.


How are sound waves related to vibrations?

Sound waves are related to vibrations because sound is created by vibrations traveling through a medium, such as air or water. When an object vibrates, it causes the particles in the medium to also vibrate, creating a wave of energy that we perceive as sound.


What waves need a medium to travel in?

Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium to travel through. These waves propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer the energy of the wave. Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.


What type of wave requires no medium to travel through?

Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .


What waves require a medium and what waves do not?

Mechanical waves require a medium (substance) to travel in, other waves do not. For example, sound is a mechanical wave and require a medium (air, water, etc.), light is not a mechanical wave and does not require a medium


What types of waves require a medium?

Mechanical waves.For example, sound waves, ocean waves, etc.Many waves need a medium to travel: sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves.Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium.


What waves need a medium and which don't?

Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and ocean waves, require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, including light waves and radio waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.


Waves require a medium in order for energy to be transferred. waves can either travel through a medium or through empty space?

E.M. waves require no medium. Sound waves require a medium.


How are forces energy and waves related?

Forces can transfer energy through the movement of particles or objects. Waves are disturbances that transfer energy through a medium or space. Forces can create waves, such as in the case of sound waves or ocean waves, which propagate through a medium by the transfer of energy.


Do light waves have a medium?

no they do not have a medium.


Is medium required to transmit light waves?

No. light waves required no medium for transmission.
