What does light need in order to travel?
It does not need a medium.
Sounds need these in order to travel?
Sound waves need a medium in order to propogate. Light waves can travel without a medium. The speed of light is 3*108m/s.
Who can we say light does not need to travel in medium?
how can we say light does not need light to travel
Due mechanical waves need a medium to travel through?
Yes, mechanical waves do need a medium in order to travel. Other waves, such as light, do not (thus they can travel through space).
What do you need to travel at the speed of light?
There is no way to travel at the speed of light.
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.
What does light need to travel?
Line of sight.
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.
What must a material be in order for light to travel through it?
transparent
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.
Can light be transferred across empty space?
Yes. Electromagnetic waves, like light, can travel through a vacuum, they need no medium in order to be transmitted. Unlike sound waves, which are compression waves what rely on matter in order to be transmitted.
