Electromagnetic radiation is energy that travels in waves in all directions. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
True. Radiation is energy that moves in the form of waves or particles and travels outward in all directions from its source.
A seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through the Earth's layers away from an earthquake in all directions. There are two main types of seismic waves: P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves), with P-waves being faster and able to travel through both solid and liquid layers of the Earth.
Waves exist due to the propagation of energy through a medium. When a disturbance occurs, such as wind blowing over water or someone plucking a guitar string, it creates a ripple effect that travels outward in all directions, creating waves. These waves carry energy and information over a distance.
Yes, the electromagnetic spectrum includes various forms of radiant energy, such as visible light, radio waves, and ultraviolet radiation, that travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. These waves propagate in all directions from the Sun, allowing us to receive energy from it on Earth and enabling various processes like photosynthesis and heating of the planet.
Sound energy is transmitted as mechanical waves that propagate through a medium (such as air or water) by causing particles to vibrate. Light energy is transmitted as electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium in order to propagate.

Along straight lines, in all unblocked directions
Sound energy is transmitted as mechanical waves that propagate through a medium (such as air or water) by causing particles to vibrate. Light energy is transmitted as electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium in order to propagate.
Sound gets weaker as it travels because it spreads out in all directions, causing the energy to be distributed over a larger area. This leads to a decrease in the intensity of the sound waves, resulting in lower volume the further you are from the sound source.
Many things travel in waves: light, energy, water, and sound.
Yes, radiant energy spreads out from its source in all directions. This is because it emanates as electromagnetic waves that propagate through space in all directions, radiating energy uniformly outward from the source.
All Electromagnetic Energy travels in Waves...as does Sound. Quantum Science also has a "Particle" Theory for the transmission of Electromagnetic Energy. That is why you hear about Light being transmitted as PHOTONS (particles).
