It needs the medium to help it travel. Other examples include water waves, seismic waves, and waves traveling through a spring. Electromagnetic waves are waves that can travel through a vacuum (empty space). They don't need a medium or matter.
What else can I help you with?
Most waves that travel through a substance are what kind of waves?
Most waves that travel through a substance are mechanical waves. These waves require a medium (such as water, air, or solids) to propagate. Sound waves, seismic waves, and ocean waves are examples of mechanical waves.
What waves require a medium and what waves do not?
Mechanical waves require a medium (substance) to travel in, other waves do not. For example, sound is a mechanical wave and require a medium (air, water, etc.), light is not a mechanical wave and does not require a medium
What distinguishes waves from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium for their propagation whereas electromagnetic waves require a medium for their propagation.
Mechanical waves require what?
Mechanical waves require media through which they can travel.
What kind of wave does not require medium?
Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, do not require a medium to travel through. These waves can travel through a vacuum, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium to propagate, like sound waves in air or water waves in the ocean.
Do transverse waves require a medium to propagate?
No, transverse waves do not require a medium to propagate.
Waves require a medium in order for energy to be transferred. waves can either travel through a medium or through empty space?
E.M. waves require no medium. Sound waves require a medium.
What do waves do not require to carry energy?
Radiation, or electromagnetic waves do not require matter to carry energy.
Waves that do not require a medium are?
Electromagnetic waves do not require medium for propagation.
What types of waves do not require any material medium for their propagation?
Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, do not require a material medium for their propagation. They can travel through a vacuum because they are created by oscillating electric and magnetic fields. This is in contrast to mechanical waves, like sound waves, which require a medium such as air or water to propagate.
What types of waves require a medium?
Mechanical waves.For example, sound waves, ocean waves, etc.Many waves need a medium to travel: sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves.Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium.
Waves that do not require matter to cary energy?
Electromagnetic Waves
