medium
No. It is radiation, not vibration. As electromagnetic energy, it can travel through a vacuum, and only through transparent or translucent material.
Mechanical waves need a medium substance to travel through. Electromagnetic do not.
Any substance!
Mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic energy can travel through matter. Mechanical energy involves the movement of objects or particles within a substance. Thermal energy is the movement of heat through matter. Electromagnetic energy, such as light or radio waves, can also pass through various types of material.
In any substance, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed that light travels through that substance.
Since sound is a mechanical wave (it needs a substance to travel through) it cannot travel through a vacuum.
All substances.
Radiation energy
electromagnetic energy
No, sound energy can travel through mediums like air, water, or solids, where it causes particles in the medium to vibrate and carry the sound wave. However, sound cannot propagate through a vacuum as it requires a medium to transmit its energy.
Through conductors.
