Sound, water waves, shock waves, etc
Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.
only through the surface of the earth
A wave that can travel only through matter is termed mechanical wave.
Light waves and electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. Water waves can only travel through matter. Hope this helped!
Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.
A wave of kinetic energy requires a medium to travel though.
Primary waves, or P-waves, are the type of seismic waves that can travel through all states of matter, including solids, liquids, and gases. They are compressional waves that move by alternately compressing and expanding the material through which they travel. This ability to move through different states of matter distinguishes P-waves from secondary waves (S-waves), which can only propagate through solids.
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
It depends. Is it a mechanical wave or a electromagnetic wave? Mechanical waves (for example sound waves) travel trough every state of matter and they can't exist without matter. They don't travel through vacuum. Electromagnetic waves travel trough space and get interrupted only by other electromagnetic waves.
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
