What kinds of energy travel through matter?
Heat and light energy travel through space and matter
Why is visible light considered to be radiant energy and can travel through empty space but sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum?
Well light is an electromagnetic wave and it pushes itself through space ,but sound requires particles to travel through and if there are no particles for it to travel through you have no sound
What is energy that can be transferred through empty space?
heat or light radiation can travel through a 100% vacuum
Does light need a medium through which to travel?
No, it does not. It can travel through any open space. Sound, unlike light, needs a medium to travel. So light can travel through outer space but sound cannot because there is no medium.
What materials can light travel through faster than it travels through air?
Light travels fastest through space which has no air. Space is a vacuum which is the fastest way for light to travel.
What kinds of energy travel through matter?
Heat and light energy travel through space and matter
How does the sun' energy travel to the earth?
Electromagnetic radiation... i.e., light. Electromagnetic Waves A+

In what ways can energy travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves, such as infrared and visible light
Can electromagnetic energy travel through space?
Did you ever see sunlight, or light from the stars? - Light is a type of electromagnetic wave, and it came to us by traveling through empty space.
What type of material can travel through space?
Sound and Light can travel through space.
Can light travel through space?
Light can travel through space. All the light that we get on the earth's surface; usually travels from the sun through space before it can reach here.
What parts of space can light waves travel through?
Light can travel through any parts of space, there is no part that it is excluded from.
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.
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.
How does the sun give its energy to the Earth when space has no gravity?
The light travel directly through the vacuum and reaches earth
