All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
What are waves that disturb matter?
Waves that disturb matter are called mechanical waves. These waves propagate as an oscillation of matter, thus transfer of energy through a medium occurs.
What is the transfer of energy as waves moving through space?
Energy transfer by waves or particles of light is called radiation.
The bending of waves around barriers and through openings is called?
Diffraction
The transfer of energy as waves moving through space is called what?
Radiation
Waves that are passed through a material are called what?
sound waves
What types of waves carry sound?
sound sent through liquids or gases is called compression waves sound sent through solids is called longitudinal and transverse waves
What to waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.
What are the waves that move through the Earth's crust called?
Seismic waves.
What are earthquake generated waves called?
Earthquake generated waves are called seismic waves. These are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers. Their velocity depends on the elasticity and density of the medium that they travel through.
Waves that carry energy through earth rocks are called?
Seismic waves.
What are waves that travel through matter called?
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.
What are the waves of force called that travel through Earth as a result of an earthquake?
Seismic Waves.
The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
What do sound waves move through?
Any thing that is able to vibrate.
What is the term for waves that move through a medium instead of along its surface?
they are called body waves.
What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
