Electromagnetic Waves do not require a medium, or matter to move through, to transfer waves. This includes radiowaves, microwaves, infared waves, visible light waves, Ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Gravitational waves are a theoretical concept; most physicists believe that they exist, but no one has yet caught a gravitational wave. If they do exist they won't need matter to travel through, and if present it won't slow them down.

Through what do seismic waves travel fastest?
seismic wave travels faster through solid rock and slower through water, but i dont know why!
What happens to S waves and P waves as they pass through the Earth's inner core?
its simple. they dont
How does sound travel from the speaker to the listener?
Sound waves enter your outer ear and travel through a narrow passageway called the earcanal, which leads to your eardrum. Your eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in your middle ear. These bones are called the malleus, incus, and stapes.
Where does the female egg travel upon fertilization?
i dont no
What is plasma and superfluids as phases of matter?
i dont know lol
Why dont sound waves travel through space?
Sound needs something to carry the waves. This is most commonly air, and there is no air in space.
What waves arrive second and only travel through solids?
p waves i think!! im thirteen i dont know these things lol
What is a repeating disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space?
i dont know ask ur science teacher
Through what do seismic waves travel fastest?
seismic wave travels faster through solid rock and slower through water, but i dont know why!
It is possible for an electromagnetic wave to travel through a vacuum?
yes, they can travel.
Electromagnetic waves dont carry any matter what do they carry?
Electromagnetic waves carry energy and information. Energy is transferred through the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields, while information can be encoded in the frequency, amplitude, and phase of the wave.
Describe how sound waves are travel?
Sound waves are caused by vibrations and travel as longitudinal waves which cause by the vibration of the molecules in air (the molecules dont actually move)
Why do waves in a lake always appear to be moving toward the shore no matter where you stand on land?
Think about it. Its a lake. The waves have to move towards shore. The real answer is that boats that you dont see further out on the lake make waves that hit all sides of the lake and will travel the full length of the lake, no matter what size.
When elephants talk were do the waves travel through?
elephant dont talk!! only noise come on ur a 2nd grader come on -w
How does light waves travel?
i dont know so tell me i dont know so tell me
How do surface waves differ form body waves?
Body waves: seismic waves that travel through the body of a medium Surface waves: seismic waves that travel along the surface of a medium and have a strong effect near the surface of the medium than it has in the interior
Why do waves travel in straight lines?
i dont know this company should answer it for us
