Why electromagnetic waves cannot be used in SONAR?
EM waves cannot be used in SONAR because water is a conducting medium and thus EM waves would get shorted
Why do EM waves not require a medium?
Both electrostatic fields and magnetic fields can influence objects in a vacuum, so EM waves (the combination of varying electromagnetic and electrostatic fields) have influence through a vacuum, that is, in the absence of a physical medium.
What waves can transfer energy with out a medium?
electromagnetic radiation, for example light
All waves need a medium to travel?
No, only surface and mechanical waves need a medium, compressional waves can travel through space. (Such as light from the Sun).I think light (EM) waves are the only ones that can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves require a medium.
Do electromagnetic waves need a medium to transfer energy?
NoAnother PerspectiveAll waves require a medium. The medium is what restricts the waves propagation speed. If there were no medium, there would be no limit to the speed with which a wave could travel. The medium of radio waves, or electromagnetic (EM) waves, is space. There have to be more properties of space than I can imagine, but in relation to EM waves, I can think of at least two; elasticity and density. The elasticity of space must be excessive in order to allow waves of extremely short length to propagate with equal fidelity as waves with extremely long lengths. The density of space must be excessive as well, in order for EM waves to be able to travel the distances they do with any representation of the original source.
Do em waves need a medium?
no
How em waves different from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
Do transverse waves need medium to travel?
Yes, but only EM waves don't.
Why electromagnetic waves cannot be used in SONAR?
EM waves cannot be used in SONAR because water is a conducting medium and thus EM waves would get shorted
Does an elecromagnetic wave need a medium?
No. Light is in the EM spectrum, and we can see light from the sun as space is a vacuum it can be concluded that EM waves do not need a medium.
HOW are EM wave different from mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
What is a bounded medium?
a bounded medium is a connection that used wires... the medium is the form of connection and bounded simply means that it is a wired connection!

All waves need a medium in order to travel?
light waves do not need a medium. Electromagnetic Waves (EM) do not need a medium. For example visible light, radio waves, microwaves, UV light and x-rays do not. These travel @ 300 million meters/sec in a vacuum.
