What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?

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.


What state of matter do P and S waves travel through?

P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.


What to waves travel through?

Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.


What matter do L-Waves travel through?

only through the surface of the earth


A wave that can travel only through matter?

A wave that can travel only through matter is termed mechanical wave.


How are electromagnetic (or light) waves different from water and sound waves?

Light waves and electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. Water waves can only travel through matter. Hope this helped!


What wave travels through only matter?

Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.


What is a wave that only can travel through matter?

A wave of kinetic energy requires a medium to travel though.


What type of seismic waves can travel through all states of matter?

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.


What kind of wave can travel only through matter?

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.


What state of matter travels through waves?

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.


Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?

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.
