What waves need a medium to travel in?
Mechanical waves need a medium to travel in
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.
Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?
Radiation doesnt need a medium because it travels through space
Why does a sound wave travel through a medium?
waves are easily travel in medium.....
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 .
What happens when waves travel through a medium?

What do electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves have in common?
They can both travel through a medium.
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.
Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?
Radiation doesnt need a medium because it travels through space
Why does a sound wave travel through a medium?
waves are easily travel in medium.....
What type of medium is required by radio waves?
radio waves do not require a medium to travel,it can even travel through vaccum
All waves need a medium to travel?
No, only surface and mechanical waves need a medium, compressional waves can travel through space. (Such as light from the Sun).I think light (EM) waves are the only ones that can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves require a medium.
Due mechanical waves need a medium to travel through?
Yes, mechanical waves do need a medium in order to travel. Other waves, such as light, do not (thus they can travel through space).
When a wave travel through a medium?
Mechanical waves such as sound and vibration require a medium in which to travel. Electromagnetic waves such as radio and light need no transmission medium.
How mechanical and electromagnetic wave are different?
The biggest difference is that mechanical waves require a medium to travel through and electromagnetic waves do not.
