Sound waves cannot travel through empty space because they need particles to transport what?
to transport the sound or the sound energy.
Why can't sound waves be used to measure the distance between the earth and moon?
Sound waves are a form of compression wave which requires a medium to be transferred. Due to the vacuum of space, sound will not travel from the earth to the moon.
How do UV rays travel through space?
UV rays are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes light, radio, x-ray, infrared, and other "waves". All of these travel through space as photons. Photons behave both as particles and as waves. Their particle nature lets them travel through space, where there is nothing to conduct them, as a wave would normally need.
Which electromagnetic waves are used for communication in space?
radio waves
How do signals travel in space?
By use of electromagnetic waves, usually microwaves or radio waves.
What is the transfer of energy as waves moving through space?
Energy transfer by waves or particles of light is called radiation.
What is a 'vacuum' in electromagnetic waves terms?
basically an empty space with no particles etc, but all the electromagnetic waves can travel through it
Does sound travel outside the earths atmosphere in space?
No. Sound is simply vibrations of particles that travel in a sort of "wave" motion. Since there is no medium (particles of matter) in space, it is not possible for there to be sound.Sound waves require a medium to travel through. They travel by knocking particles into other particles, causing a vibration to be transmitted.As outer-space is a vacuum, there is no matter present; this means that there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. Therefore, sound cannot travel in space.
How are electromagnetic waves produced?
Electromagnetic waves are produced by the motion of electrically charged particles. These waves are also called 'electromagnetic radiation' because they radiate from the electrically charged particles. They travel through empty space as well as through air and other substances.
What type of transverse waves can travel through matter or space are produced by the motion of electrically charged particles and include X rays ultraviolet waves and visible light?
Electromagnetic waves
Light exhibits characteristics of waves particles both waves and particles neither waves nor particles?
Yes, light has both properties of light, and waves.
What are not able to travel through empty space ultraviolet waves or sound waves?
Sound waves cannot travel through empty space because they require air particles to transfer them. UV is a light wavelength and can travel through space (just like light from the Sun reaches the planets).
What waves are unique because of there ability to travel through a vacuum. a space that contains no particles of matter?
"electro-magnetic"
How does solar radiation heat up the earth's surface?
The sun converts hydrogen to light energy. This energy must travel through space, where there are no particles. To go through space, the energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves. When these waves hit the Earth's surface, they are absorbed by the typeof material at the top (rock, soil, water). As the waves are absorbes, they release their energy into the material's particles. This causes the particles to vibrate faster, causeing heat.
Does space have any gas particles?
:Whilest "space" is but a vaccuum, there are still trace amounts of gas particles in the vast emptiness of that which we call "space." Take nebulae for instance, they are but giant collections of plasma particles, which are but a combination of gas and liquid. The accretion disks around black holes are made of plasma and gas as well. So in short, yes, there are particles of gas in space.
Do explosive shock waves propigate in a vacuum?
No
What exist in space?
mainly electromagnetic radiation, heat and light, but with a dash of radio waves and particles as well.Gravity waves should exist as well, but we yet have the apparatus to reliably detect them.
