What else can I help you with?
The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
What type of wave requires a medium to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum?
The type of wave that requires a medium to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum is called a mechanical wave.
Can sound travel through a vacuum, and if so, how does it propagate in the absence of a medium?
No, sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there are no particles for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate.
Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum because?
They need some medium to propagate, as they travel through the agitations in medium
Can sound travel easily through a vacuum?
No, sound cannot travel through a vacuum because sound waves require a medium, such as air, water, or solid materials, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate.
Which can sound NOT travel through?
Vacuum as sound needs badly a material medium to get it propagated.
Why heat cannot be conducted through vaccum?
Conduction requires a medium. In vacuum there is no medium through which heat can be conducted. However, heat can be transmitted through vacuum in the form of radiation.
Why can't sound travel through a medium?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, to propagate as a mechanical wave. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound waves to transfer energy through, so the waves cannot propagate.
Is air a transparent or an opaque medium?
Air is a transparent medium, because you can see through it fully. Opaque mediums are those that you cannot see through at all.
A medium through which light cannot pass is called?
An optically opaque material.
How does a mechanical wave transmit energy through a vacuum?
A mechanical wave cannot transmit energy through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the wave to travel through, so it cannot transfer energy.
Why can sound energy not travel travel through a vacuum?
Sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid, to travel through. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through, so the energy cannot propagate. This is why sound energy cannot travel through a vacuum.
