What goes slowest to fastest for an electromgnetic to travel in matter?
Within the same medium, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed.
What medium does sound travel the slowest in?
Gases
What waves need a medium to travel in?
Mechanical waves need a medium to travel in
Mechanical waves travel slowest in which physical state?
It moves it's slowest in the solid state
Do sound waves travel slowest through gases?
Yes
Why does a sound wave travel the slowest in a vacuum?
Sound waves don't just travel the slowest in a vacuum, they don't travel at all. The reason is that sound waves, like all mechanical waves, need a medium to travel through.
What goes slowest to fastest for an electromgnetic to travel in matter?
Within the same medium, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed.
Waves that travel the slowest andare the last to be recorded?
surface waves because they are the last waves and also the slowest.
What medium does sound travel the slowest in?
Gases
What waves need a medium to travel in?
Mechanical waves need a medium to travel in
What type of wave requires no medium to travel through?
Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .
Mechanical waves travel slowest in which physical state?
It moves it's slowest in the solid state
Do sound waves travel slowest through gases?
Yes
What happens when waves travel through a medium?
The molecule of the medium vibrates at the dirction in which the wave travels
What do electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves have in common?
They can both travel through a medium.
Why do earthquake waves travel fast in the crust but slowest in the interior of the earth?
Earthquake waves travel fastest in the interior of the Earth, as speed of waves increases as we go inside the Earth. The speed of a wave depends on the properties of the medium it travels in. The wave propagates faster in the denser and heavier core.
Why are sound waves not considered a mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in which to travel, i.e., a solid or fluid. As sound needs a medium to travel, sound is a mechanical wave.
