What is the medium of propagation of earthquake waves?
The Earth itself is.
What is the medium of propagation of earthquake wave?
Rock, soil, etc.
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 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....
Why sound need medium while it propagation?
Because sound waves are mechanical vibrations of material matter. You can't have sound waves in a space where there's no material to vibrate.
What is the medium of propagation of earthquake waves?
The Earth itself is.
What distinguishes waves from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium for their propagation whereas electromagnetic waves require a medium for their propagation.
What types of waves do not require any material medium for their propagation?
electromagnetic waves do not require medium for their propagation. such as radio waves.
Waves that do not require a medium are?
Electromagnetic waves do not require medium for propagation.
What is the medium for earthquake waves.?
Earth is the medium for earthquake waves.
What is the medium of propagation of earthquake wave?
Rock, soil, etc.
What is a wave that requires medium for propagation?
Mechanical waves
How do waves transmit energy while there is no medium for propagation?
In a way, they don't. There is always a medium; though for some waves, this medium can be empty space.
What is a wave that doesn't require a medium for propagation?
Electromagnetic waves (like light) don't require a medium for propagation, unlike mechanic waves (like sound).
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
Which waves can go through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves are the only form of energy that does not need a medium for propagation.
What is difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?
Mechanical Waves:1.Mechanical waves need a material medium for their propagation.2.These waves are produced due to the vibrations of the particles of the medium.3.They have low speed.Electromagnetic Waves:1.Electromagnetic waves do not need any material medium for their propagation.2.They are caused due to change in electric and magnetic fields.3.They have high speed.
