Light waves can travel can travel in different ways depending on the object. It can travel through a vacuum which is a complete airless place, mirror, but sound has to travel through a solid or gas.

What type of light has a wavelength equal to 1 kilometer?
This is the far infrared (if 1 x 10e-4 is in meters).
What wave is detected by the ear?
I'm assuming by "waves" you mean "electromagnetic waves," since there are ocean waves and a few other waves that we can see too. We can also perceive sound waves, but cannot see them. The electromagnetic waves that we can see are called the "visibile lights." Their wavelength range from about 760 nm( 760*10^-9 m), bright red, to about 390 nm, bright violet. Their frequency range from about 4*10^14 Hz to 7.9*10^14 Hz, respectively. Infrared and Ultraviolet are NOT a part of visible light. No he means waves in the sea
What forms of energy can travel in waves?
4 forms
How far waves can travel?
4 perhaps even 5
What are the 4 em waves originated from space?
microwaves, ultraviolet light, infrared, visible light
What color light is emitted by radio waves?
Radio waves do not emit visible light. Only light with wavelengths of roughly 4*10^-7 to 7*10^-7 meters are visible.
How are electromagnetic waves formed when 4 hydrogen atoms fuse into 1 helium atom?
light waves are produced by our star. they are electromagnetic waves. please explain.
What do light waves travel through?
Electromagnetic. Or you might be looking for transverse.
What are the 5 uses of visible light?
4 important technological uses of light are RADIO WAVES,MICRO WAVES, SOLAR CELL,& LASER.
Are the frequencies of ultraviolet waves slightly higher than visible light?
Ultraviolet light extends for quite a ways up the electromagnetic spectrum after visible violet ends. Its frequencies are higher. Wavelengths from 400nm to 50nm covering 4 groups of UV.
What is the difference between radio waves and gramma waves?
The wavelength of radio waves are on the magnitude of 10^4 meters, while gamma rays have a far shorter wavelength of around 10^-14. This implies that gamma rays carry a lot more energy than radio waves, due to their frequency being much higher than that of radio wave frequencies.
4 animals that can see wave not visible?
Birds & bees (ultraviolet light waves), snakes (heat waves) and I don't know a 4th.
What is the in miles distance light travels in 4 years?
In 4 years light will travel approx 23.5 trillion miles.
Time it take for light to get to Mercury?
it takes about 3-4 minutes for light to travel to mercury
