What does light need in order to travel?

It does not need a medium.


All waves need a medium in order to travel?

light waves do not need a medium. Electromagnetic Waves (EM) do not need a medium. For example visible light, radio waves, microwaves, UV light and x-rays do not. These travel @ 300 million meters/sec in a vacuum.


What is the limitation of science and technology?

The limitation of science and technology is the ability to travel at the speed of light and in order to travel at the speed of light we would need to find a way to not interact with the higgs boson. Since we are interacting with the higgs boson we can not travel at the speed of light.


Who can we say light does not need to travel in medium?

Light can travel in a vacuum without the need for a medium. This is because light is composed of photons which do not require a medium, unlike other types of waves such as sound waves that do need a medium to propagate.


Sounds need these in order to travel?

Sounds need a medium to travel, such as air, water, or solid materials. As sound waves pass through the medium, they cause particles to vibrate, transmitting the sound energy from one point to another. Without a medium, such as in a vacuum, sound waves cannot travel.


What does light need to travel?

Line of sight.


Can light travel through space?

Yes, light can travel through space because it does not need a medium to propagate.


Why don't we classify light waves as mechanical?

Because they don't need any material substance to travel through in order to get from place to place.


How does light travel through AVACUUM?

Light waves do not need a medium to propagate. Sound waves cannot travel without a medium. Light waves always travel at the speed of light that is 3*108m/s.


What do you need to travel at the speed of light?

To travel at the speed of light, you would need to have an infinite amount of energy, which is currently not possible with our current technology and understanding of physics. Additionally, as per the theory of relativity, an object with mass cannot reach the speed of light.


What do light rays need to travel through space?

If light rays did not travel through space there would be no way for them to reach Earth.


Does light travel trough a vacuum?

Yes. Light is a self-propagating wave that does not need a medium to flow. Thus, light has the ability to travel through a vacuum.
