Mechanical waves require what?
Mechanical waves require media through which they can travel.
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 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.
What are three medium waves can travel through?
Not all waves require mediums to propagate.Sound waves can travel through solid, liquid and gaseous mediums, while, electromagnetic waves do not require any medium to travel through.
What waves need a medium to travel in?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium to travel through. These waves propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer the energy of the wave. Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Waves that require a medium through which to travel are called electromagnetic waves True or false?
False. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel; they can propagate through a vacuum.
Why are sound waves not considered a mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in which to travel, i.e., a solid or fluid. As sound needs a medium to travel, sound is a mechanical wave.
How do sound waves travel to a satellite?
Sound waves require a medium to travel through, and, since space is a vacuum, sound waves can't travel in it.
Do all waves travel through matter?
NO some waves like sound require matter to travel whereas light waves can travel in vacuum.
Some waves that do not require a medium are what?
Electromagnetic waves, gravity waves.
What type of wave requires no medium to travel through?
Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .
Which wave requires medium?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, require a medium (substance) to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, like light waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
