If speaking in terms of matter present in the space, it would definitely be considered as a clear medium. Actually the space which seem to be empty is actually comprised of matter and anti-matter combining together and thus creating energy. The matter prevailing in this universe is negligible as compared to the free space.

Because electromagnetic wave propagation is nothing but the propagation of electric and magnetic energy. Free space has the characteristics such electrical permittivity and magnetic permeability. So in modern terms free space is also considered as a medium but of course a non material medium.

Which among the following is considered a line-of-sight communication medium?

A line-of-sight communication medium refers to a transmission method where the sender and receiver must have a clear, unobstructed path between them. Examples include optical fiber, microwave links, and free-space optical communications. These mediums rely on direct visibility for effective signal transmission, making them suitable for applications like satellite communications and certain wireless networks.


Is a vacuum considered a medium?

No, a vacuum is not considered a medium because it is the absence of matter, including air or any other substance.


What is vacuum of space?

Vacuum we mean that there is nothing in the space. But perfect vacuum is not possible even in space as there are some traces of hydrogen molecules. More over space itself is having some properties such as magnetic permeability and electric permittivity. So space is considered as a medium through which light could travel. But sound cannot travel as it needs material medium. Hence sound waves are called as mechanical waves where as light waves are named as electromagnetic waves.


Is there noise in space?

No, space is mostly a vacuum and therefore considered a silent environment. Sound waves require a medium to travel through, such as air or water, which is lacking in space. However, there are other forms of radiation and vibrations that can still be detected.

Why sound is non-matter?

Sound is considered non-matter because it is a wave motion that propagates through a medium, typically air or water, by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. It does not possess mass or occupy space like matter does. Sound waves can travel through the medium but do not have a physical presence themselves.
