Does a electromagnetic wave need a medium to travel?
Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium in which to travel. They move "best" through a perfect vacuum.
What waves can transfer energy with out a medium?
electromagnetic radiation, for example light
Why are some waves called electromagnetic?
Waves that are called electromagnetic are labeled as such because they are oscillations between electric and magnetic fields. Radio waves, visible light, and X-rays are examples of these types of waves.
What types of waves do not need a medium?
Electromagnetic waves don't need anything to travel through, and they can travelthrough the vacuum of space. Electromagnetic waves consist of electrostatic andmagnetic fields, which can exist and move from place to place without the presenceof any material to carry them.
What type of wave can move through space?
Light waves do, but sound waves cannot, because in space is no medium to carry the vibration. Radio, TV and others can travel in space also.
What do electromagnetic waves need to travel?
Electromagnetic waves don't need anything to travel. This kind of waves does not need a medium to move through, therefore they can even travel through outer space.
What kind of energy can travel in waves and can move through empty spaces?
Electromagnetic.
Does a electromagnetic wave need a medium to travel?
Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium in which to travel. They move "best" through a perfect vacuum.
What is the enery that can travel in waves and can move through empty space?
electromagnetic radiation
Can both electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves move throgh space?
Yes, but mechanical waves need matter to travel through. EM waves can travel through vacuums as well.
Name one kind of wave that does not require a medium?
An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.
What waves move the fastest?
Electromagnetic waves.
What waves can transfer energy with out a medium?
electromagnetic radiation, for example light
Why are some waves called electromagnetic?
Waves that are called electromagnetic are labeled as such because they are oscillations between electric and magnetic fields. Radio waves, visible light, and X-rays are examples of these types of waves.
What waves do not need matter to move?
Electromagnetic waves propagate (move) with their own energy.
What waves don't need matter to travel through?
Electromagnetic Waves do not require a medium, or matter to move through, to transfer waves. This includes radiowaves, microwaves, infared waves, visible light waves, Ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.
What do waves carry as they move?
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
