Can mechanical waves travel through vacuum?
Mechanical waves (like sound) require things to bang into each other, or at least push each other around, to continue to be a wave propagation. In space, there isn't enough stuff close enough together to carry a wave in that form. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, umm... are a different theory.
Can more than two waves pass through one medium?
Yes, they can pass through the same medium, but they will interfere with each other. It's like a bunch of people talking at once. The waves, in this case vibrations that we hear as sound, pass through the same medium, air. You will hear all the different people talking, but it will come across as random noise.
Can waves transfer energy through liquids and solids but not through gases or empty space?
Some waves can transfer energy only through liquids and solids, but not through gases or vacuum. Some waves, like sound waves, can transfer energy through gases, liquids and solids but not through vacuum. And some waves, notably electromagnetic waves, can transfer energy through vacuum as well as matter.
Does waves travel through solids or liquids faster?
Sound waves travel faster through denser media, like solids, because the molecules are closer together, making it easier to pass the sound from molecule to molecule. Light and other electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense media, and they travel fastest through a vacuum.
Can radio waves pass through a vacuum?
Long answer: Radio waves, like all EM radiation, can pass through a vacuum. Short answer: Yes.

How does each wave differ?
P waves and S waves. P waves arrive first and make a ripple like effect through the ground and S waves arrive second and make a twisting/circular wave.
What is an antenna used in space for?
Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and they don't require a medium to pass through (like water, sound, or seismic waves.) So they work in space, which makes it real handy for astronauts for communicate with each other.
Is it possible for human to communicate to each other via telepathy or thought waves?
Yes. But it is not like talking.
Why does a light photon have a waveform?
Because if you fire several photons through two narrow spaces close to each other and you see where they land you'll see interference patterns just like if it were sound or other waves going through two narrow spaces.
What does sound waves carry?
it travels in longitudinal waves which travel like dominoes knocking each other over Salma It carries information of some kind.
How sesmic waves travel through earth?
like sound waves through a solid. Place one hand one end of a table and have ur friend bang the other end and see if u feel it. that's how seisic waves travel

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 .
What Gamma Radiation made of?
Gamma radiation is an electromagnetic wave, the same as all other kinds of light, except that it has much more energy. Electromagnetic waves are waves of electrical and magnetic fields which travel through space, much like waves through water.
What kind of movement is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves?
P waves - compress and expand the ground like a Accordion S waves - vibrate from side to side as well as up and down Surface waves - make the ground roll like ocean waves The Earthquake is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves.
