What is a disturbance that moves through some type of matter or space?
a wave. Electromagnetic waves (such as light or radio waves) do not need a medium to travel through. Mechanical waves (such as sound waves) require a medium (matter) to travel through.
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 type of mediums do sound waves travel trough?
All matter. However, sound waves cannot pass through vacuums, such as space.
What is the one exception to the rule that waves don't move matter?
Sound waves/vibrations move matter in the form of air particles which is how sound propagates, so that could be an exception to the rule. However, you could say water waves move matter too. They certainly don't go through matter like radio waves. Solar winds may be an exception too. They are a continuous flow of solar plasma/magnetohydrodynamic waves mixed with shock waves Hence, solar sails are possible.. It's getting more probable that matter is made of quantum waves that act like solid particles, but aren't. Mass is energy, not matter. But it creates what we consider matter: an object that takes up space and has mass. Most waves have mass, like water or sound waves or solar wind waves. Each carries and therefor moves matter. But the matter it moves through isn't carried away by most waves.So I don't think it's a valid rule unless it specifies the type of wave or waves we're talking about and the specific context of the rule in relation to those specific waves. If that's done, there is no exception to the rule. Otherwise, if we say there are exceptions, then the rule would be shown to be false stated simply: waves don't move matter. There's so much more to it, including the fact that the word matter is vague at best. A water wave or a shock wave hitting matter certainly can move it even if it doesn't carry it away. So, again, worded as it is, it's not much of a rule.So, is it true that no waves move matter? No. So if it's true, then the rule has to be modified to explain the context/conditions in which it is true. Once context is specified, there are no exceptions.
What type of waves have nodes that do not move?
standing waves
What are waves that travel through matter called?
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.
What is a disturbance that moves through some type of matter or space?
a wave. Electromagnetic waves (such as light or radio waves) do not need a medium to travel through. Mechanical waves (such as sound waves) require a medium (matter) to travel through.
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.
Do waves move the material though which the wave travels?
Depends on the type of wave. For example, sound makes air oscillate, but the air doesn't go anywhere Electromagnetic waves ie. microwaves, visible light, x rays, radio waves, can travel through a vacuum but if they travel through for example the air, or glass, or water they don't move the material through which they move. Mechanical waves are waves which involve the vibration (oscillation) of the particles of the material through which they move. The particles vibrate up and down, or backwards and forwards, but are not carried along with the wave. This is part of the definition of a wave, that a wave transmits (moves along) energy, not matter, the matter, if any is involved, just vibrates.
What type instrument produce transverse wave?
If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.
What is energy transferred through matter by waves?
That energy may be called different things, depending on the type of waves considered.
Which type of waves travel by pushing and pulling on the matter it travels through?
primary wave
Which type of waves cannot travel through space?
sound waves can not travel through space since they use the air around us to move.
Is the speed of a physics wave influenced by the type of matter it travels through?
Generally , all waves that are studied in physics are affected by the type of matter they travel thru.
What type of mediums do sound waves travel trough?
All matter. However, sound waves cannot pass through vacuums, such as space.
