Any wave that requires a physical medium. Audio (sound pressure) waves, water waves, and "amber waves of grain" are all examples of waves that cannot travel through the vacuum of space.

Wave that can travel through an empty space?
what is a form of energy that travels as waves through the air and some solids and liquids call?
Is there an empty space in the Earth's mantle?
To my knowledge, there is not known to be an empty space in the mantle. Earthquake seismic waves travel through the Earth in different ways as they change from crust to mantle. Such a void would have probably been detected by now, as the waves would NOT travel through a void - they travel through solids and liquids (but not the solid of the Earth's core).
S waves cannot travel through?
hello
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.
Does sound travel faster through space or room temperature?
Nope, sounds doesn't travel faster on space because a medium is needed a region to another
Which do not travel through empty space?
sound cannot travel through empty space.
Why can sound waves not travel through empty spuce?
Sound waves cannot travel through an empty space because an empty space is usually a vacuum.
Why cannot sound travel through space?
Because there are no enough molecules in empty space for sound to be propagated.
How do you hear yourself in space without a space suit?
Sound cannot travel in empty space. But, sound may be able to travel through your body.
Does heat travel through empty space by conduction?
No, there can't be conduction in empty space. Heat may travel through empty space through radiation, though.
What are not able to travel through empty space ultraviolet waves or sound waves?
Sound waves cannot travel through empty space because they require air particles to transfer them. UV is a light wavelength and can travel through space (just like light from the Sun reaches the planets).
Can travel though empty space?
Yes, you can travel through empty space. The Sun, Earth, moon, satellites, space ships, atoms, and subatomic particles all travel through empty space. Greater than 99.999% of matter is empty space.
What is a completely empty space?
A completely empty space is called a vacuum. A vacuum does not even have air. Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
Does radiation travel through an empty space-?
Radiation travels through empty space and substance.
Why cant sound trave through empty space?
Why cant sound travel through empty space
Why does light travel faster through empty space than matter?
It doesn't travel faster through a vacuum. In our Universe there is no such thing as empty space.
What does light travel through best empty space or matter?
Light travels fastest through empty space.
