Does waves move energy through space no matter what?

Yes, waves are a way in which energy is transferred through space. Different types of waves, such as electromagnetic waves or seismic waves, carry energy from one place to another without the need for a medium.


What do seismic waves an sound waves have in common?

They both move energy through a field without moving a substance.


How are Waves are carriers of energy?

Waves are carriers of energy because waves are caused by energy flowing through the water making them move in a wavy motion. The waves are also caused by the wind blowing on the top of the water.


How does radiant energy move?

Radiant energy moves in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light, infrared radiation, radio waves, and X-rays. These waves travel through space and can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted by different materials or mediums.


How does energy travel during earthquakes?

There are three types of vibrations:- Primary waves, Secondary waves and long waves. Primary waves can move through solid and liquid. Secondary waves move through only solids and long waves can only move along the surface of the earth's crust.


What is the energy of travels through space as waves?

Electromagnetic waves carry energy through space. This energy takes the form of photons, which are massless particles that move at the speed of light. The energy of electromagnetic waves is directly proportional to their frequency, according to Planck's equation.


What is an energy that can travel through waves and move through empty space?

Gravitational (-GmM/r) and Electromagnetic (hf=hc/r) Energy.


What is being transported as the waves move through matter or space?

Energy and information are being transported as waves move through matter or space. Waves carry energy from one place to another by transferring it through the medium they are traveling in, or through electromagnetic fields in the case of light waves. The oscillations of particles or fields in the medium allow the wave to transmit information as well.


What kind of wave does sound make?

Sound is a compression wave. Waves are basically movements in the medium through which energy travels. Compression waves cause the medium to move parallel to the energy movement. Electromagnetic waves, although they do not require a medium, move parallel to the transfer of energy.


Why do waves move?

many different reasons. wind can blow across the surface of the water, energy can pass through causing waves,


What energy is transfered by waves?

Waves transfer energy in the form of mechanical energy, which causes particles in the medium (such as water or air) to move and oscillate. This movement of particles carries the energy of the wave through the medium.


Do wave carry matter and energy?

it is energy
