Lots of things are true; for example:
* Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.* Sometimes, but not always, they can also travel through other materials. It depends on the material and on the frequency of the wave.
* In a vacuum, they will always travel at the same speed - the so-called speed of light.
For more information about electromagnetic wave, I suggest you read some other sources, for instance, the corresponding Wikipedia article.
What else can I help you with?
How are all electromagnetic wave alike?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed.
Which kind of electromagnetic wave travels fastest in a vacum?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in vacuum.
What is the fastest that an electromagnetic wave can travel?
The fastest that an electromagnetic wave can travel is 299,792,458 meters per second.That's the "speed of light" ... and all other electromagnetic radiation ... in vacuum.
Why does a wave travel a medium?
Waves do not need a medium all time.it depends like u need no medium when it is electromagnetic wave.
What type of wave is a light wave an example of?
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
Can macnetic waves travel at the speed of ligth?
Light is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. Electric and magnetic waves don't travel on their own - the wave travels as a combined electric and magnetic wave.
What type of wave does not need a medium to travel through?
It is electromagnetic radiation that needs no medium to travel in. Gamma rays, light and radio waves, all forms of electromagnetic radiation, can travel through the vacuum of space very well. In fact, they prefer it.
Is an infrared wave a transverse wave?
Yes, an infrared wave is a transverse wave. Transverse waves are characterized by oscillations perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, and infrared waves exhibit this type of motion as they propagate through space.
What type of wave is an electromagnetic wave?
A vaccum Those transverse waves which require electric field and magnetic field vibrating in a direction perpendicular to each other and also to the direction of propagation of the wave. sound longitudal waves
Which type of wave travels the fastest?
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
What are the four properties of electromagnetic waves?
An electromagnetic wave consists of alternating magnetic and electric fields at right angles to each other. All electromagnetic waves travel at a speed of 3x108 m/sec in air. They all undergo diffraction, interference and reflection. They can travel in a vacuum and they all transmit energy from one place to another. They are actually a type of transverse wave in which the direction of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of the movement causing it.
A Wave that doesn't need a medium?
light; all waves in the EM(electromagnetic) spectrum, including visible light, do not need a medium to travel in
