Electromagnetic radiation can travel through "empty" space. Depending on the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation, we call it "radio" or "microwaves" or "heat" or "light" or "UV" or "X-rays" or even "cosmic rays" - it's all different frequencies of EM radiation.

The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency; in fact, the frequency times the wavelength is the constant "c", the speed of light.

What is the energy that can travel through empty space or through matter?

Electromagnetic energy, such as light and radio waves, can travel through empty space or through matter. This type of energy does not require a medium to propagate and can travel vast distances through the vacuum of space.


Does heat travel through empty space by conduction?

No, heat does not travel through empty space by conduction because conduction requires particles to transfer heat energy from one molecule to another. In empty space, heat transfer occurs through radiation, where energy is transferred via electromagnetic waves.


Energy can be transferred through empty space by?

Energy can be transferred through empty space by radiation. Joule is the SI unit of energy.


What is something that Carry's energy through empty space and through matter?

The answer will depend on who is Carry and what his energy is doing in empty space.

Is mechanical waves can travel though empty space true or false?

False. Mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. They cannot propagate through empty space because they rely on the vibration of particles in the medium to transfer energy.


How does the sun' energy travel to the earth?

What is energy that can be transferred through empty space?

Electromagnetic radiation, such as light or radio waves, can transfer energy through empty space due to the properties of electromagnetic fields. This form of energy does not require a medium like air or water to travel through, allowing it to propagate through the vacuum of space.


Can travel though empty space?

Yes, you can travel through empty space. The Sun, Earth, moon, satellites, space ships, atoms, and subatomic particles all travel through empty space. Greater than 99.999% of matter is empty space.
