It depends. Is it a mechanical wave or a electromagnetic wave? Mechanical waves (for example sound waves) travel trough every state of matter and they can't exist without matter. They don't travel through vacuum. Electromagnetic waves travel trough space and get interrupted only by other electromagnetic waves.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of wave travels by pushing and pulling on the matter it travels through?
Mechanical waves travel by pushing and pulling on the matter they travel through. Sound waves and seismic waves are examples of mechanical waves.
What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.
Matter through which a waves travels?
"A compressible medium." "A displaceable medium."
What travels through a medium as a disturbence?
A wave travels through a medium as a disturbance. Waves can be mechanical (such as sound waves) or electromagnetic (such as light waves) and they transfer energy without transporting matter.
How does heat travel throughteach state of matter?
Heat travels through waves of insulation through metals and other materials. The only metals that heat does not travel through are aluminum and nickel.
What wave travels through only matter?
Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.
What kind of wave does sound travel through?
Sound travels through matter as transverse pressure waves.
Which type of waves travel by pushing and pulling on the matter it travels through?
primary wave
What state of matter do P and S waves travel through?
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
Sound waves travels faster through what state of matter?
Sound waves travel faster through solids compared to liquids and gases because the particles in solids are more closely packed, allowing the sound waves to propagate more efficiently.
What is light... a wave of vibrating electric and magnetic energy a wave that travels by compressions a wave that travels by rarefactions or a state of matter?
Light is a wave of vibrating electric and magnetic energy that travels through space in the form of electromagnetic radiation. It does not travel by compressions or rarefactions as sound waves do. Light does not fall under the category of a state of matter.
The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
