How do waves travel through vacuum as wave is a disturbance caused in the particles and vacuum does not have any particles?

The vacuum has an "Ether" with z=375 Ohms and it has electric and magnetic charge z=W/Q where W is the vacuum magnetic "charge" in Webers and Q is the Electric charge in Coulombs. Z is related to Planck's Constant h= WQ.
Q= 4/3 E-18 Coulombs and W= 500 E-18 Webers.
The electromagnetic wave "disturbs" the ether medium.

Does sound energy need particles to travel through?
Yes they do need particles to travel through!
Light can travel through a vacuum as is evidenced when you see the sun or the moon. Can sound travel through a vacuum also?
No, sounds cannot travel through a vacuum. This is because sound requires a medium to travel through because it requires the vibration of particles to travel and there need to be particles to vibrate for it to travel through.
Do waves created by a large disturbance travel faster than waves created by a small disturbance do?
No, waves with a smaller disturbance travel faster. This is because they have less distance to travel.
Why is visible light considered to be radiant energy and can travel through empty space but sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum?
Well light is an electromagnetic wave and it pushes itself through space ,but sound requires particles to travel through and if there are no particles for it to travel through you have no sound
What is needed for a sound to travel?
Particles, e.g gas particles in air, because sound travels through the vibration of particles. Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum, as there are no particles.
Does sound energy need particles to travel through?
Yes they do need particles to travel through!
How a wooden table can show that sound waves can travel through solids?
Put your ear on a table and hit the table the soundwave is caused by the vibration of particles in the table which transfer the sound wave to your ear where it is picked up as a vibration. sound travels through everything which contains particles. It will not travel through space as it is a vacuum and contains no particles therefore cannot pass the vibrations on.
Why cant sound travel through outer?
Sound, unlike light, needs a medium through which to travel. Sound relies on vibrating molecules or particles. Sound can travel through air at about 3 km/s as it vibrates particles and then the neighbouring particles etc. but it can travel much faster through steel because the particles are much more tightly packed.In outer space there are not enough particles to vibrate, no neighbouring particles for the very few particles that are there. No particles means that there is no sound.
Light can travel through a vacuum as is evidenced when you see the sun or the moon. Can sound travel through a vacuum also?
No, sounds cannot travel through a vacuum. This is because sound requires a medium to travel through because it requires the vibration of particles to travel and there need to be particles to vibrate for it to travel through.
Why the sound produce on the sun cannot be heard on earth?
because space is a vacuum. In order for sound to carry, there must be matter through which it may travel (sound is caused by the energy that causes particles to vibrate). On Earth, we have the air particles that sound carry's through. In space, there is no medium through which the sound energy may travel.
Do waves created by a large disturbance travel faster than waves created by a small disturbance do?
No, waves with a smaller disturbance travel faster. This is because they have less distance to travel.

What is needed for a sound to travel?
Particles, e.g gas particles in air, because sound travels through the vibration of particles. Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum, as there are no particles.
What is the disturbance that travels in a water and EM waves?
The disturbance that travels in a water and EM waves is sometimes known as electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic waves have the ability to travel through a vacuum.
S waves can only travel through?
sound waves can only travel through particles, which is why it is hard to hear through double glazing as there is a vacume between the two panes of glass. There are no particles in a vacume.
Can sound waves travel through steel?
Yes sound waves are made from vibrating atoms or particles and so any medium which contains particles can allow a sound wave to travel through it. The only thing a sound wave cannot travel through is a vacuum.
How do particles within the medium not travel?
waves move through a particle.
