What is the space wave propagation frequency?
Space wave propagation frequency is nothing special, it is the same frequency of the wave in question, for example WLAN Wifi produces 5.2 GHz radio wave from your computer or from router, so that would be the the space wave propagation frequency in question
What is a wave transfer?
It is not "transfer". it has to be " Transverse" wave. When the particles of the medium does vibrations simple harmonically perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave then it is said to be transverse wave. Even electromagnetic wave too is a transverse wave as its electric and magnetic omponents are normal to the direction of propagation.
What is a wave that requires a physical medium?
A sound wave.
What is the cycle of a waveform?
goes through your ear and out the other...
What is the explanation for the principles of electromagnetic wave?
An electromagnetic wave is properly called a Transverse Electro Magnetic wave, or TEM wave. It consists of an alternating magnetic wave at right angles to an alternating electric wave, with both fields being at right angles to the direction of propagation. The plane of the electric field is defined as the plane of polarization.
Which kind of wave requires a medium for propagation?
A Sound wave, water wave, earth quake wave. Electromagnetic waves (radio, light, etc.) do not require a medium for propagation.
What does a wave require in order to travel?
generally electromagnetic wave does not require any medium while sound waves require a medium (air) for propagation
is An electromagnetic wave is a mechanical wave/true or false?
True, because mechanical waves require a medium for propagation.
Why do sound wave require a medium to travel?
Sound waves are mechanical waves and all mechanical waves require a material medium for its propagation unlike electromagnectic waves
What is a electomagnetic wave?
these are waves that do not require or need material medium for its propagation, but they travel successfully in free space{vacuum}
What wave doesnt require a medium to travel through?
electromagnetic. for example, light.
How does the medium move in a longitudinal wave?
medium's particle vibrate parallel to propagation of wave.
What distinguishes electromagnetic waves from mechanical waves?
electromagnetic waves are wave that do not require a material medium for their propagation while mechanical wave requires a material medium for example light wave is an electromagnetic wave it does not require any material medium(depends on air or water)for their propagation i.e even in the absence of air light will still travel... sound wave is a mechanical wave because sound do not travel in a vacuum....
What is a wave that requires medium for propagation?
Mechanical waves
What wave type is a sound wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal in nature, and they require a medium for propagation.
What is the medium of propagation of earthquakes wave?
Rock, soil, etc.
What is the medium of propagation of earthquake wave?
Rock, soil, etc.
