What kind of wave does not need a medium through which to travel?
a light wave?
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 able to travel through both matter and empty space?
A type of wave that can travel through empty space as well as through matter is electromagnetic wave. Light travels fastest in empty spaces.
Can light wave travel through air?
Yes ,....... light wave can travel through the air ... the light wave does not require any medium.
What kind of Wave is an electromagnetic wave how fast does it travel?
An electromagnetic wave is a wave with electric component and magnetic component. In free space (vacuum), an electromagnetic wave travels with the speed of light, that is 3x10^8 m/s. In fact, light is also an electromagnetic wave.
Light wave travel faster than gamma wave?
No, they travel at the same speed
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 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.
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.
