What wave cannot travel through empty space?
Any wave that requires a physical medium. Audio (sound pressure) waves, water waves, and "amber waves of grain" are all examples of waves that cannot travel through the vacuum of space.
Are water waves mechanical waves?
No, Mechanical waves means that the waves require a medium in order to pass through. For instance, sound is a mechanical wave because it requires the air to travel through (or any material -- such as water). Light waves are electromagnetic waves because they produce an oscillating electric/magnetic field as it travels. Also because it requires no medium to travel through, this is why the sun's light may reach us here on earth. (Note: it was previously thought that the medium in space which allowed light to travel through, this was referred to as the ether - this is false, space is a vacuum.)
The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
Explain why a sound wave can't travel from a satellite to earth?
In space there is no air. Sound waves need a medium for transportation. Therefore we cannot hear any sound in a vacuum. In films they play us music from the outer space. But that is not possible in reality.
Which seismic wave does not travel through liquid?
transverse
A wave that can travel through empty space or through matter?
It is an electromagnetic wave.
What kind of wave is able to travel through both matter and empty space?
A type of wave that can travel through empty space as well as through matter is electromagnetic wave. Light travels fastest in empty spaces.
Why an electromagnetic wave can travel through empty space?
Because space is not empty, it has a Quantum Ether.
Which type of wave can travel through empty space by electromagnetic waves?
Light, a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
Why does an electromagnetic wave in space never slow down?
In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.
A wave that can travel through empty space is?
You could have Gamma, ultra violate, infrared and radio
Light is one type of wave that can travel through empty space to transfer?
yes, electomagnetic
Why can radio waves travel through space but sound waves can not?
Radio waves travel through empty space because they are electromagnetic waves, whereas sound is a wave that must travel through air.
Consists of changing electric and magnetic fields and can travel through empty space and matter?
an Electromagnetic Wave

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.
A wave that can travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic radiation, such as light, infra-red, UV, X rays.
