What material do waves travel through?
They travel through a material medium.
How sound waves travel through a material?
Vibrations travel through the material, just as they would in air. How well they travel through depends on the material.
Where can electromagntic waves travel through?
Electromagnetic Waves can travel through space without any material medium.
What is the material which sound waves travel through?
the 'medium'
What is a material through which light waves can travel?
Light can travel through transparent and translucent glass.
Ein which of the follwing can sound waves not travil?
Sound waves can travel through any compressible material (which means any real material), be it solid, liquid, or gas. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.
Which type of material does sound waves travel through fastest?
Solids
How does sound travel from instruments to your ears?
Sound creates waves in a material- compression waves. These waves are transmitted through the atoms/molecules in the material to the receiver. The denser a material is, the more effectively sound may travel; this is because the sound waves are transmitted more easily through the tightly packed molecules.
Does sound need to travel through material?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
Why can electromagnetic waves travel through space and not sound waves?
Sound waves need a physical material to carry them, but electromagnetic waves don't.
What does mechanical wave needs to travel?
It has to travel through a medium. This is usually air, but could be any material such as water or steel. Mechanical waves cannot travel through vacuums as EM waves can x
What do different waves travel through?
surface waves can only travel along the surface.
