I assume you mean electromagnetic waves. In outer space, they will travel at the speed of light (since light is also an electrodynamic wave). This speed is about 300,000 kilometers per second.

What type of waves travel through space?

Sound waves cannot travel through space.


Can Seismic waves travel through space?

NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.


What kind waves can travel through space?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can travel through space because they do not require a medium to propagate. These waves can travel through the vacuum of space and do not need a material substance to carry them.


How do gravity waves travel through the vacuum of space?

Gravity waves travel as small distortions in space and time.


What can sound waves not travel in?

sound waves can't travel in a vacuum (space)


What type of electricity travels in waves through space?

electronic sound waves


What 3 waves cannot travel through space?

Waves that rely on a medium may not travel through space. These would include longitudinal waves, shear waves, and sound waves.


What type of wave can't travel through space?

Mechanical waves cannot travel through space because they require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to propagate. Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and water waves. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, can travel through space as they do not require a medium.


What type of wave can't travel through empty space?

Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium (such as air, water, or a solid) to travel through and cannot travel through empty space. Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, can travel through empty space because they do not require a medium.


What travels through empty space?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can travel through empty space. These waves do not require a medium to propagate, allowing them to travel through the vacuum of space.


What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?

All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.


Why can radio waves travel through space but sound waves can not?

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium to travel through, allowing them to propagate through the vacuum of space. In contrast, sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to transfer energy and vibrations. Space is a vacuum, lacking the necessary medium, which is why sound waves cannot travel through it.
