Your question doesn't make much sense?! Radiation is what makes matter stick together, its in everything. So theoretically it doesn't need to pass through anything because its everything.

Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?

Radiation doesnt need a medium because it travels through space


Does light need a substance to travel through?

No. It is radiation, not vibration. As electromagnetic energy, it can travel through a vacuum, and only through transparent or translucent material.


Example of electromagnetic radiation?

Light is an example of electromagnetic radiation. EM radiation unlike other waves of energy doesn't need a medium to travel through hence why light energy can travel from the sun to the earth through the vacuum of space.


Can radiation travel through a vacuum?

Yeah, radiation can travel in vacuum and a practical example of it is the radiation of sun coming to earth and traveling through space.


Can radiation travel though space?

All types of radiation can travel through space.


Which of these can radiation travel through?

conductors According to the A+ cirriculum it' actually space. Radiation can travel through a space. Jesus loves you!:)


Which can travel through empty space out of insulator convection electomagnetic conduction or radiation?

Radiation can travel through empty space. The radiation in question is electromagnetic waves.


Why can heat travel through space by radiation but not by conduction and convection?

For conduction and convection we need a material medium. But for radiation such a meaterial medium is not necessary. So in free space radiation can pass through easily.


What is the energy that can travel through empty space or through matter?

radiation


Does waves need a medium to travel through?

No. Electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum ( ie space where there is nothing)


What type of wave does not need a medium to travel through?

It is electromagnetic radiation that needs no medium to travel in. Gamma rays, light and radio waves, all forms of electromagnetic radiation, can travel through the vacuum of space very well. In fact, they prefer it.


Why does radiation don't need any substance to travel?

Radiation is like light, it can travel through empty space. The "why" is a bit complex; basically, light, as well as similar radiations (including heat radiation) consists of electromagnetic waves. These can travel through empty space, since they are just waves in the electric and magnetic properties of space.
