The name is "electromagnetic waves". They can travel through empty space, and - depending on the specific frequency - through certain materials. For example, light can travel through glass.
Sun rays are electromagnetic waves, specifically in the visible light range. They travel in a wave form and do not require a medium to propagate, distinguishing them from mechanical waves like sound waves that do need a medium.
earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D
No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.
s-waves travel through solids only
Shear waves travel through solids. They cannot travel through liquids and gasses (unlike compressive waves) and they can't travel through a vacuum (unlike electromagnetic waves).
Sound waves cannot travel through space.
Waves typically travel through a medium, which can be a solid, liquid, or gas. For example, sound waves travel through air or water, while seismic waves travel through the Earth's crust. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through a vacuum as well as through certain materials like glass or air.
Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.
they travel through virtually anything. for example electromagnetic waves travel through our skin, our hair, anything.
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. In air, sound waves create vibrations that travel through molecules in the form of pressure waves. These waves carry the sound energy and allow the sound to be heard by our ears.
