What kind of wave is an ultra violet ray?
An ultra violet (UV) ray is an electromagnetic wave, it is the same kind as visible light wave just with a different wavelength and frequency. Both travel and the speed of light. It is a transverse wave
What type of wave does light travel as?
A sonic wave.
What kind of wave is light considered?
Light a general term for a specific range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, is not strictly just a wave, it shows particle and wave like properties, hence it being able to travel in a vacuum without a medium. However as a wave light is considered to be a transverse wave.
What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
Light wave travel faster than gamma wave?
No, they travel at the same speed
What kind of wave does not need a medium through which to travel?
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields and can travel through vacuum. Examples include light waves, radio waves, and X-rays.
What kind of wave does light have?
I would rather say that light IS a wave, not that it HAS a wave. It is a type of electromagnetic wave.
What kind of wave does electromagnetic energy travel in?
The wave is called an electromagnetic wave.
How does the light travel in the air?
As an electromagnetic wave.
Can light wave travel through air?
Yes, light waves can travel through air because air is a medium through which electromagnetic waves can propagate. Light travels at different speeds through different mediums, but it can definitely travel through air.
How do you know that light is a kind of wave that can travel without a medium?
It was demonstrated through experiments like the double-slit experiment, where light exhibits interference patterns similar to waves. Additionally, the wave nature of light explains various phenomena, such as diffraction and polarization, which are characteristic of wave behavior. These observations led to the conclusion that light can travel through a vacuum, unlike other mechanical waves that require a medium.
Is light an example of mechanical wave?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
