Waves that do not require matter to cary energy?
Electromagnetic Waves
What do waves do not require to carry energy?
Radiation, or electromagnetic waves do not require matter to carry energy.
Why light waves doesn't require a medium for its propogation but sound waves require?
sound waves move along with the particles of matter through which it passes
Do all waves travel through matter?
NO some waves like sound require matter to travel whereas light waves can travel in vacuum.
A wave that doesn't require matter to transfer energy?
Electromagnetic waves
What is a disturbance that moves through some type of matter or space?
a wave. Electromagnetic waves (such as light or radio waves) do not need a medium to travel through. Mechanical waves (such as sound waves) require a medium (matter) to travel through.
What waves don't need matter to travel through?
Electromagnetic Waves do not require a medium, or matter to move through, to transfer waves. This includes radiowaves, microwaves, infared waves, visible light waves, Ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.
How are electromagnet waves different from mechanical waves?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space or a medium while mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy.Apex- They don't require a medium to travel through.
What waves require matter to carry energy?
All waves except electromagnetic waves and gravitational waves (predicted by General Relativity, but not yet detected).Some examples are:sound waveswater wavesearthquake wavesetc.
The type of heat transfer that does not always require matter to occur?
Radiation by EM waves which can travel in a vacuum
what do most waves require?
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 do sound waves require to travel in?
Particles. They can't travel through a vacumm
